Meet Ila, a 3 month old Shepherd and Hound mix who already carries about 22 pounds of puppy curiosity, sweetness, and charm. Ila is the kind of puppy who seems to approach the world with wide-eyed wonder, ready to explore, play, and share love wherever she goes. Her soft, expressive eyes and gentle personality make it easy for her to quietly work her way into your heart. Ila is happiest when she is close to her people. She loves attention, cuddles, and being part of daily life, often settling nearby like a little companion who believes togetherness is the best part of the day. Her tender, loving nature makes her wonderfully easy to adore. Ila enjoys playing with her siblings and embracing all the fun energy of puppy life. She is great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her a beautiful fit for many types of homes. She is social, kind, and naturally sweet. Ila is also learning leash skills and basic puppy manners as she grows. She would love a home with a large, securely fenced backyard where she can run, explore, and burn off puppy energy while being silly and free. With her gentle heart and loving spirit, Ila is ready to grow into a loyal companion who brings joy and warmth to a family who cherishes her. Don’t wait — start your adoption application for Ila today and let this sweet girl begin her forever story! Ila is spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
