My story

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

Meet Hielo, a sweet and gentle boy who melts hearts everywhere he goes. This friendly pup loves nothing more than strolling around the play area, taking in all the fresh air, and enjoying quality time with his favorite volunteers. He’s a dream to leash up and an absolute pleasure to walk—calm, happy, and always excited for the next little adventure.



Hielo is playful, silly, and full of joy. He loves his toys, loves his cookies (which he takes ever-so-gently), and loves every moment spent with the people who care for him. His warm, affectionate nature makes him the kind of dog who forms real bonds—loyal, loving, and always eager to be by your side.



If you’re looking for a wonderful companion and the perfect adventure buddy, Hielo is your guy. He’s ready to bring happiness, fun, and lots of love into a lucky family’s life.
