Ilona is a sweet, independent girl who loves the company of other dogs more than anything. She’s happiest when she has a playful canine companion to chase, so she’d thrive in a home with another dog who enjoys an active playmate. If her foster sisters are lounging around, she’ll let them know it’s time to play. In Ilona’s world, playtime is the best time!
Though she adores her dog buddies, Ilona is a quiet and low-maintenance companion for people. She’s easy going around kids, but far more interested in playing with dogs than people. She’s an independent pup who prefers to nap solo rather than snuggle. She’s also content entertaining herself with a toy, the broom if you start sweeping, and her own tail! She’s doing great with potty training and will usually let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s crate-trained and a calm passenger on car rides.
Ilona’s biggest love (besides dogs) is peanut butter! She’s so in tune with her routine that when she hears a phone alarm, she knows it’s peanut butter time. And if she doesn’t get it right away? Well, Ilona isn’t afraid to be a little diva about it! She also has a picky side. If she doesn’t like a certain food, she’ll be sure to let you know! Smart and observant, she’s picking up basic commands and loves exploring her surroundings.
If you have a playful pup looking for a best friend, Ilona might be the perfect fit. Could she be the missing piece in your home?"
Please note this pup has some medical conditions that our staff will be happy to speak to you about.
