Story
Hilary is a beautiful mature girl estimated to be between 5 and 7 years old with a gentle personality that is just beginning to shine. She has clearly spent much of her life being bred, and while that history is part of her story, it does not define the sweet and affectionate dog she is today. Hilary is incredibly loving and bonds quickly with her people. She seeks out affection, enjoys being close, and has a soft and tender nature that makes her deeply endearing. She is crate trained and settles nicely, showing that she already has a wonderful foundation for life in a home. Because Hilary is still learning to remain calm and gentle during moments of excitement, she would do best in a home without small children. She is making great progress and will thrive with a patient family who can continue helping her build confidence and refine her manners. Hilary has so much love to give and is simply waiting for a home where she can finally relax, feel safe, and be cherished. If you would like to learn more about Hilary or arrange a meeting, please contact adoptpetersburg@gmail.com.
