My name is Halo!

Halo is a tender-hearted 9-month-old mixed breed with the sweetest eyes that tell a story of resilience. Life hasn’t always been kind to him, and as a result, Halo can be a little shy and nervous around new people and situations. Sudden movements, loud noises, and unfamiliar surroundings can make him feel uneasy, but beneath his timid exterior is a heart full of love waiting to bloom.

Once Halo feels safe, his true personality shines through. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than curling up beside his trusted humans for quiet moments of connection. He has a soft spot for gentle ear rubs and will happily follow you around the house, always seeking your company.

Halo would benefit greatly from having another dog in the home to keep him company. A confident and friendly canine companion could help him feel more secure and show him the ropes, providing comfort and encouragement as he adjusts to his new life.

Halo is looking for a calm and patient forever home, ideally with a family who understands that love takes time. He would thrive in a quiet environment with a predictable routine and a kind-hearted adopter who will give him the space and support he needs to build his confidence.

With the right love and care, Halo promises to be your most loyal companion—a gentle, loving soul who will repay your kindness with endless devotion. Are you the one to show Halo the world isn’t such a scary place?

Halo is from Texas.
