My name is Hilo!

Hilo is a fun-loving, energetic pup with a huge heart and an equally impressive cuddle game. He’s social, affectionate, and truly hasn’t met a stranger—new people are just friends he hasn’t snuggled yet. When playtime winds down, Hilo’s favorite place is right by your side, whether that’s curled up in your lap or stretched out near you on the couch.

Hilo is very dog social and absolutely loves to run, chase, and wrestle with canine friends. He’s also met a resident cat and has been calmly curious and mostly indifferent, choosing dog play over kitty chasing. He’s fully potty trained, comfortable in a crate, and does well when left alone for a few hours. In the car, he’s an excellent passenger, happily laying down or gazing out the window.

This playful guy is either all-in on fun or completely ready to power down for snuggles—there’s no in-between. He adores stuffed squeaky toys (especially the kind he can proudly destroy) and is actively improving his leash skills with regular walks and trail outings. With consistency, he’s getting better every day.

Hilo still has some puppy energy and would thrive in a home that can provide daily exercise, continued training, and plenty of attention. He acclimates quickly to new environments and is eager to be part of a loving routine. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who can keep up on adventures and then happily crash in your lap, Hilo is ready to be your new best friend. 💙
