Lilo

My story

Meet Lilo—tiny, quiet, and clearly the old soul of the Lilo & Stitch litter. While her siblings are busy body-slamming each other and treating every shoe like it personally offended them, Lilo is over in the corner like, “Y’all are exhausting. I’ll be over here minding my business and looking adorable.” She does explore—sure. But she does it like a polite little lady, not a full-blown tornado. She’s the type to sniff around thoughtfully, contemplate life for a moment, then decide your lap is far more interesting than whatever nonsense her siblings are up to. Lilo may be one of the smallest, but she’s already mastered the fine art of quietly judging everyone from the comfiest blanket in the room. If you’re looking for a chill, snuggly sidekick with the soul of a 90-year-old grandma wrapped in a fluffy and curly baby body—congrats. You’ve found her. Lilo may only weigh 2 pounds, but she carries herself like a tiny, fuzzy queen who’s already seen way too much drama from her siblings. While the rest of the Lilo & Stitch crew is launching themselves across the room in a blur of zoomies and questionable decisions, Lilo prefers a more refined approach: polite exploration, occasional thoughtful sniffing, and a strong preference for cuddles over chaos. She came to us with her mom Noni (a maybe-Aussie, maybe-Irish-setter, definitely beautiful mutt), after Noni gave birth in the shelter. As for dad? We don’t know. He didn’t stick around, didn’t leave a number, and didn’t sign the birth certificate—but based on those curls and those of some of her siblings, we’re guessing there was some poodle involved. Lilo is more of a wallflower when it comes to her littermates—she watches their rowdy games with quiet curiosity, clearly wondering if jumping on someone’s head is really necessary to have fun. She prefers gentle interactions and thoughtful sniffing over full-speed wrestling matches (we get it, girl). As for cats, she hasn’t met any yet—But honestly, we imagine Lilo would give a cat a soft blink, maybe a polite sniff, and then quietly retreat to her blanket like, “You do you, whiskers.” She’s spent time with a 16-year-old human and was her usual sweet, calm self. Lilo isn’t the type to leap into laps uninvited, but give her a little time and a warm cuddle spot, and she’ll melt right in like she’s known you forever. New people? She handled her vet visit like a tiny pro—no fuss, no fear, just quiet cooperation and the occasional side-eye that says, “I’m being brave, but I’m still keeping score.” Lilo clocks in at a chill 3–4 on the energy scale, which basically puts her somewhere between a napping sloth and a housecat on a rainy afternoon. Her temperament? She’s easygoing, snuggly, and clearly believes the world would be a better place if everyone just took a nap and talked about their feelings. Favorite activities include: snuggling like it’s an Olympic sport, slow-motion exploring, and staring wistfully into the distance like she’s composing emotional poetry in her head. She's basically a tiny, fluffy therapist—minus the license and plus a whole lot of cute. So, you're thinking about adopting Lilo? Amazing choice—just be aware that while she may look like a tiny snuggle muffin sent straight from heaven, she is still very much a baby puppy... which means you’re signing up for the full puppy package experience. Potty training, where she may occasionally bless your floors while looking you dead in the eye like you should’ve read her mind. Socialization? Oh yes, that’s on you. New people, new sounds, vacuum cleaners, car rides—Lilo needs gentle introductions to this wild, weird world. She's got the cuddly part down, but she still needs her human to help her become a well-rounded little lady. 🦮 Leash training, which she currently views as a bizarre human ritual involving strange strings and deeply unfair rules. So, if you’re thinking, “Yes, I would love a snuggly, mildly dramatic fluffball who hasn’t quite figured out how the world works but looks adorable while trying,” then congratulations—Lilo might just be your soulmate. BUT, here’s the fine print: 📝 You must fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app —even if she’s already stolen your heart with that sleepy little face. 📍 You’ll need to come to Hutchinson, KS to pick her up—no, she doesn’t do shipping, teleportation, or meet you halfway at a Buc-ee’s. 📆 And while we know you’re already picturing her napping on your couch, she can’t leave until around July 21st. Until then, she’s busy growing, perfecting her side-eye, and napping in increasingly dramatic poses.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Lilo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
