About Hilda

Hilda is searching for her own heroes. She’s a small, 9.8-pound mix of Jack Russell Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer, quietly curious and gentle. You’ll usually spot her trailing after her people, lounging on the sofa, or nestling under a warm blanket on the bed. Hilda’s not too sure what to do with toys yet, but she adores gentle pets and sticking close by for companionship. After some heartbreak, she may be shy at first, but with patience, she’ll start to show her sweet personality and trust. Her foster mom says she just wants a safe place to be loved and to belong. At five years old, there’s still plenty of affection left in her. Hilda does well with other dogs and enjoys the simple things: tasty snacks, cozy cuddles, and tagging along around the house. Leashes still make her nervous, though she’s fine with being carried for now. She’s house trained and happiest with someone patient who’s ready to let her blossom. Born July 4th, Hilda is a true Cancer—loyal, sensitive, and warm. Ready to be her hero? Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
