Hilo (Lacy, WA) - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Mount Vernon, Washington

Meet Hilo!

Hilo is an adorable 10-week-old cattle dog/pittie mix pup who is already showing what a smart, playful little guy he is. One of his best puppy skills? He’s doing a great job sleeping through the night! He is still working on potty training, but he’s learning quickly and making great progress.

Hilo gets along well with cats, although his puppy energy can sometimes be a little much for his feline friends. He loves to play fetch and is also happy entertaining himself for a while when he has plenty of toys to keep him busy.

Like any young puppy, Hilo still has lots to learn. He will need continued work on leash training, basic manners, and all the new experiences that come with growing into a confident, well-behaved dog. With consistency, patience, and lots of love, he has all the makings of a wonderful companion.

If you’re looking for a playful, curious pup who is ready to learn and grow right alongside you, Hilo may be the perfect addition to your family!
