About Hestia

Hestia is a sweet old soul looking for a refined lifestyle filled with lots of pets and in return, she'll be your loyal shadow! This adult Lab mix, likely with a charming blend of other breeds, is a lovely medium-sized girl weighing about 42 lbs on the leaner side. Hestia is dreaming of a cozy, quiet, and loving home where she can live a life of luxury. She does well sharing space primarily with male dogs, but she's not interested in young silliness and desires to live a more adult life. Hestia would enjoy leisurely walks, though she doesn't require strenuous hikes to be happy. She is wonderful in her crate and ready for downtime, but her eyes are always on her people. This velcro dog in the making, with her soulful eyes, will win you over in no time flat. During a sleepover, Hestia proved to be a sweet, loving girl who enjoys snuggling, sleeping, and especially her favorite treat, sweet potatoes! She is completely house-trained, always goes potty outdoors, and is great on a leash. While Hestia loves humans, she's not overly social with other dogs or cats, but she is a lovely girl who will bring comfort and joy to anyone who provides her with a forever home. She was confident on walks and respectful in public places, making her a great contender for a wonderful forever friend. Whether in a quiet home or enjoying social downtown life, Hestia will thrive. Her favorite quirk? She turns into a puddle of happiness with a good belly rub – go for the belly and you'll have the happiest dog!
