COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Hilda, a dog at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center, is looking for a work-from-home buddy that appreciates her relaxed personality.
“She’s been with us for a little while, but she’s just a really good girl, she’s very chill, she’s real relaxed. She’s definitely a favorite of our staff and volunteers here too,” said Erin Hamill, Marketing and Community Relations Manager at the Franklin County Dog Shelter.
The 6-year-old medium mix breed arrived at the shelter as a stray. Hamill said she is slow-moving and is dealing with some arthritis, so Hilda would be a great fit for a family looking for a less hyper or active dog.
“She would probably do best in a home with a one-level or very minimal stairs going in and out of the house,” Hamill said.
While a relaxed dog, she also happens to have a few tricks up her sleeve. Hamill said she will also do anything for a treat.
“Hilda knows how to sit, she does know how to lay down, if she does it all the time, that’s up to her and what mood she’s in, but she does know how to do it, and she does know how to speak,” Hamill said. “She’ll talk to you sometimes too, especially if she thinks that you’re kind of sidetracked and doing something else, she’ll let you know what she wants.”
Hilda’s calm demeanor means she can spend time with someone while they work remotely, and loves to lounge around next to someone while getting some attention.
“When I’ve had her in my office and I’m trying to work, she kind of nudges me to let me know she’s still there,” Hamill said. “She definitely wants to be with you and that affectionate side really comes out.
