About Bilbo

Bilbo is a playful puppy, brimming with silliness and sweetness. His energetic spirit means he plays hard, naps hard, and explores the world with a puppy’s boundless curiosity. Anything within reach is fair game for his inquisitive mouth. This cheerful boy adores people and squeaky toys, making him a delightful companion. He enjoys his time with his canine foster sister and would likely thrive in a home with other dogs to keep him engaged. Bilbo is also curious about the resident cat, though he often forgets the cat is around and generally leaves him alone. He loves kids too, but his excitement can lead to playful chaos, so he'll need a family ready to teach him some puppy manners. Bilbo is already learning commands—he can sit when he focuses, and he’s eager to master “stay,” “down,” and walking nicely on a leash. He does need a bit of training, but his eagerness to learn makes this process rewarding. Bilbo is currently receiving medicated baths for a minor skin issue and will need continued vet follow-ups. He has had all his puppy vaccines and is scheduled for neutering soon. With a lively personality, Bilbo is vocal and full of unique puppy antics. He even gets the zoomies, turning into a tiny whirlwind, especially when tired! Car rides are still a bit challenging as he gets carsick, so his new family should be patient with this process. If you’re ready for a goofy, loveable puppy who brings joy and energy into your life, Bilbo is excited to find his forever home!
