About Hida

Hida is a 14-year-old Miniature Poodle who weighs just 9 pounds, but her presence fills any room with quiet calm. After living as a stray and arriving in rough shape—severely matted and even covered in oil—she's been carefully cared for and has flourished into a soft, gentle companion. Completely blind and mostly deaf, Hida relies on a routine and gentle guidance from people, and she handles her world with surprising dignity. She's house-trained, comfortable in her kennel, and well-mannered. With her low-key, peaceful nature, Hida is happiest in a calm home where she can relax, nap safely, and feel at ease. She appreciates being held but doesn’t demand constant attention—most days, she’s content to snooze nearby. Hida rarely barks, is friendly when meeting new people, and gets along well with other dogs. She’s also indifferent to cats, making her a good fit for a variety of households. Hida needs a home that recognizes the unique grace and needs of senior dogs, and can maintain a predictable schedule. In exchange, she’ll offer unwavering companionship and a soothing presence. If you’re hoping for a quiet, loving dog to share your space, Hida could be a wonderful addition. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
