Hyperion is a diamond in the rough. He can be a little shy at first and will need slow meet and greets but with some treats and a few minutes, you will have a new friend.

Hyperion absolutely LOVES going on walks! It's his all-time favorite thing to do. He enjoys napping during the day, sunbathing, chewing bones, and treats.

Hyperion is also 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.

He is incredibly well-behaved when left alone in the home. He free roams and usually takes a nap. And he is 100% house trained. As Hyperion does need slow introductions to new people, he may do best in a low-traffic home.

Hyperion has some wonderful quirks that make his foster parents love him even more. He likes to push his dinner bowl around before eating. He will jump up on couches or side tables to observe all he can see. He will also tap the back door with his front paw to let you know he needs to go outside. And he 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?

Be sure to follow his adventures with his foster family on Instagram at @pitstoptofurever.
Come meet your new best friend
