Meet Hilma! This sweet, 8-pound Chihuahua mix is a gentle soul who just wants to be close to her people—and her dog and cat friends, too! She’s the perfect mix of cuddly and independent, happy to curl up in your lap for snuggles or quietly rest nearby.

Though shy at first, Hilma is blossoming beautifully in her foster home. With each passing day, she’s showing more courage and trust. She’s calm, quiet, and respectful—never a barker—and she isn’t fazed by loud noises.
