Adoption fee: $750 Meet Hollywood — Your Tiny Leading Man With Big Main-Character Energy! Hollywood is a 1–2 year old, 8 lb Cairn Terrier with a whole lot of personality packed into a perfectly portable body. He’s sweet, hilarious, and ridiculously affectionate — the kind of dog who makes you feel like you’re his entire world (because in his mind… you are). With his soulful eyes, snuggly nature, and constant desire to be right where the love is, Hollywood is basically a rom-com heartthrob in scruffy-terrier form. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will adore you like you hung the moon, congratulations… you just found him. Hollywood is the ultimate velcro cuddlebug — he follows his humans from room to room like he’s your personal furry assistant and happily climbs into laps whenever there’s an opening. He’s especially obsessed with kids and has proven himself to be gentle, affectionate, and tolerant around busy little humans (including groups of 5, 7, and 9 year olds). He also does great with other small dogs, even if they occasionally roll their eyes at his puppy enthusiasm. Hollywood doesn’t take corrections personally — he just keeps living his best life like the confident little “honey badger” he is. A typical day with Hollywood starts around 7 a.m., when he pops out of his crate, heads outside, and then immediately goes to his most important job: waking the kids with kisses. Breakfast happens around 8:30, and while he strongly believes human food should be shared with the cast, he will settle for his own (especially if it’s wet food). After that, he spends the day lounging, snoozing, chewing on a bone, and playing ball — both indoors and outside — with little bursts of energy and zoomies sprinkled in. Around 2:30 p.m., he often tags along for afterschool activities to practice being a good car and leash buddy, then dinner rolls around between 5–7 p.m., and bedtime is usually 10–11 p.m. back in his crate (though he’d happily accept a starring role in your bed). Hollywood is still very much a puppy at heart, which means he’s learning manners as he goes. He’s mostly potty trained, especially since learning the dog door, but he’ll do best with supervision and consistency while he finishes polishing those skills. He may bark briefly at deliveries or new people, and he sometimes barks at other dogs because he wants to play — not because he’s mean. He’s also a bit of a curious little troublemaker and may grab a kid toy, pencil, or snack if it’s within reach (Hollywood believes all props belong to him). He’s crate trained, but he doesn’t love being left alone yet, so continued confidence-building will help him thrive. If you want a dog who is equal parts adoring, funny, cuddly, and charming, Hollywood is ready for his forever home — and trust us, this little guy was born for the role. Adopt Hollywood… and get ready for a lifetime of kisses, couch snuggles, and a best friend who thinks you’re the greatest thing to ever hit the big screen.March 2, 2026, 11:19 am
