Check out handsome Hyperion (AKA Helios to his fosters and adoring fans)! He is such a lover. He may seem shy at times, but this coy boy would love to meet you and show off his goofy personality -- especially if you've got treats to share.

Helios absolutely LOVES going on walks! It's his all-time favorite thing to do. Back home, he enjoys sunbathing, playing with toys, and chewing on bones. And he especially loves taking naps. He's a pro snoozer.

Helios understands 'sit' and does well when his foster is away from home, nicely free-roaming the house and usually sleeping. He also does well in a crate when he needs to be in one, and he is perfectly house-trained. He will even tap the back door with his front paw to let you know when he needs to go outside.

Helios is dog social and he would love to live with a playful doggie friend or two! He's great with the dogs in his foster home. They usually leave each other alone, just chewing bones or napping. He has lived with 2 rabbits and has shown no interest in them, so he may be able to live with small animals like cats.

Helios has some wonderful quirks that make his foster parents love him even more. He likes to push his dinner bowl around before eating. He loves to observe all the happenings in his home, preferably from his favorite lounging spot on the coffee table. He also lets out a big sigh when he is settled in for the night. What more is there to ask for in such a cute little dude?

You can call him Helios, Hyperion or any name you like. He doesn't care...as long as you call him yours. Check out his adventures with his foster family on Instagram at @pitstoptofurever.
