About Hailo

Meet Hailo, a playful yet laid-back 4-year-old American Staffordshire mix weighing around 70 pounds. He enjoys a good game of fetch, splashing around in water, and chewing on his favorite bones, but he's just as content curling up on the couch for a nap. Hailo comes fully house-trained and leash-trained, and he knows several commands, including sit, up, down, and paw. He gets along well with most dogs, particularly those that are easygoing and non-confrontational. However, he does not get along with cats, so a feline-free home is essential. Ideally, Hailo would thrive in a home with older kids, as he hasn't been around young children. This loving companion was abandoned on a country road, yet he maintains a warm and loyal spirit. He would love a patient owner who can continue his training and offer him a safe environment. Hailo is located in Houston, TX, but can be transported to most states for an additional fee of $300.
