My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

~Hilo~
Age: 1+ year old
Breed: Chiuhuaha
Weight: 8 lbs.
Male
House and Leash Trained
Hilo is the kind of guy that will happily jump into your purse for any adventure and is sure to bring lots of love into your life.
A bright ray of sunshine, this well trained boy learns quickly and follows commands. He’s a little on the vocal side, and as his new BFF, be prepared to actively listen to his rants and raves!
This handsome fellow gets along with other dogs, and takes time to warm up with strangers. He’s incredibly loyal and loving once he knows you’re his family. He’ll certainly find ways to amuse you, like wrapping himself up in his blanket like a cozy taquito. Besides snuggle time, dog friendly treats and plush toys are his next favorites.
Are you ready to take the next step with Hilo? Fill out the online application and a volunteer will respond within a few days.
