My story

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

Meet Lilo – The Blanket-Burrowing, Snack-Loving Sweetheart! 🐾

At 7 years young, this tiny Chihuahua is the perfect mix of playful and snuggly. Lilo may start off a little shy, but give her a gentle hello (and maybe a tasty treat), and you’ll soon discover her goofy, curious, and oh-so-loving personality.

Lilo is:
✨ Dog & Cat Friendly – As long as her furry friends respect her space, she’ll happily share her home and may even invite them to a game of chase or tug.
✨ Housebroken & Crate Trained – She’s a pro at both, though she’ll tell you the crate is only acceptable if there’s a cozy blanket for burrowing. (Blankets = life.)
✨ Playful but Chill – Zoomies in the yard? Yes. Chasing toys with her foster siblings? Absolutely. Couch naps and cuddle sessions right beside her human? Her favorite.
✨ Smart & Eager – She’s mastered “sit” and is working on “stay.” With positive training and encouragement, she’ll keep impressing you!

Lilo is the definition of a loyal little shadow—quietly sneaking into the room just to stand beside you, always happiest when she’s near her people. She adores mealtime, snack-time, and blanket-time equally, and she’ll shower you with her quirky, sweet affection in return for a forever home.

If you’re looking for a curious, playful, and ridiculously cuddly companion, Lilo is ready to burrow into your heart (and your blankets). 💕

The adoption fee for Lilo is $400. This donation helps to cover veterinary expenses including spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations. Wish Upon a Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit, foster based animal rescue. If you would like to meet Lilo please complete our adoption questionnaire at www.wishuponarescue.org/adopt. We will review your responses and be in contact to schedule a meet and greet at a time and place convenient for your family and our team member.
