Hilly is a calm, affectionate sweetheart who’s ready to bring warmth and love into her forever home. Recently, she’s been enjoying a break from kennel life as an office dog—earning the nickname “the office pygmy hippo” for her cozy naps, gentle nature, and lovable personality.
Hilly is housebroken, well-mannered, and an excellent companion. She spends most of her day snoozing on a soft bed, greeting visitors with kisses, and soaking up affection. She enjoys short walks, starting with a mild pull before settling into an easy pace, and usually tires out after 15–20 minutes—perfect for someone looking for a lower-energy dog.
She’s highly treat-motivated, takes treats gently, and knows cues like sit and come. While not interested in toys, Hilly loves pets, belly rubs, and relaxing near her people. She can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly and is happy doing her own thing once comfortable.
Quiet, easygoing, and well-behaved in a home setting, Hilly would make a wonderful companion for someone seeking a sweet, laid-back dog to share cuddles, short walks, and peaceful days together.

More about this shelter
Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
