Hilda is a petite senior mix, left behind when her owner lost their home. Though she's well into her golden years, she stays full of energy and playfulness, always eager for a hike, a car ride, or some time with her favorite squeaky toys. Hilda forms strong attachments to her people but does lean toward women and can be slow to trust new faces, especially men. Her protective streak is clear, and she really thrives in a quiet, low-traffic household—ideally just one woman with patience and understanding. Hilda is currently working with trainers to build confidence and manners; she's not quite ready for adoption yet, but if you fit her ideal home, an introduction can be arranged. She doesn’t do well with kids and needs gentle introductions to other dogs, though she can sometimes find a match. Hilda’s quirks make her unique, and she’s looking for someone who appreciates that. They’re ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
