Dog Names that Start with 'Hi' in Pop Culture

Featured Famous Dog with a Name that Starts with 'Hi'

Hilda

When the topic of rescue dogs comes up, or when we see some of those commercials about supporting your local animal shelter, our hearts break to hear some of the stories about how the dogs were abused or abandoned. We are also thankful for the intervention of those humane organizations which ultimately save their lives by providing the medical care needed to stabilize them.

Our pop culture spotlight today is Hilda, a good old girl abandoned and too old to be adopted - that is too old to be wanted by most people. We should be thankful for people who love animals so much that they actually prefer to give stable, loving homes to rescued senior dogs who would otherwise face euthanasia because no one wants them. Hilda was the sweetest little Pekingese mix, but she had seen better days when they found her in the backyard of a foreclosed house. She was cast aside and left to fend for herself by her former human family, weighing no more than 15 pounds, short bowed legs, a large underbite, and teeth that were jutting and snagged. Her cloudy eyes were set in a face that sported a gray muzzle, dull coat, and sparse fur on her rump that spoke of flea allergies that were most likely chronic. She was not a pretty sight to behold by any means when Shirley Zindler, an Animal Control Officer in Northern California, found her. They took her back to the shelter and nursed her back to health, then spayed and vaccinated her. But, even though she now met all of the adoption requirements, potential pet parents were not standing in line to take her home.

Hilda spent her days sitting and gazing out the chain link fence, looking longingly at people passing by, but when no one would notice her, she would quietly return to curl up in her bed and sleep the day away. After having worked around homeless animals for over 25 years, Shirley had a soft spot for the older ones, saying that they displayed so much dignity and grace as they sat, waiting patiently for the forever home that for most of them would never come.

Shirley, not willing to give up her quest for a home for Hilda, she shared Hilda’s story with a lady in a group in which Shirley was involved, and the lady took Hilda home. When Shirley saw Hilda six months later, she could hardly believe her eyes. Hilda looked five years younger, with a soft, shining coat and eyes and better muscle tone, and blossoming personality!

Dog Name that Starts with 'Hi' Considerations

For some, naming their new pet is most likely at the top of yet another list - the list of things they are putting off! Why? Picking the perfect prenomen for their pup is viewed by many with fear and trepidation because of the scope of the assignment. There are hundreds of thousands of possibilities for monikers for your pawed playmate, and completion of the task seems impossible. Additionally, many people who possess pets believe, as we do at Wag!, that names for pets are as meaningful as those given to your offspring, a belief that adds stress, making the burden even more ominous. In an attempt to reduce your fear and trepidation in this area, we would like to recommend that you approach this duty armed with a plan, as you would any other challenging obligation. How about considering a name based on your pup's glorious coat? Do they have attributes that make them stand out from others? Have you ever thought about considering the alphabet, looking only at the words beginning or ending with specific letter combinations? Please allow us to suggest that you explore dog names that start with ‘Hi’ for your frisky friend. Read on for the top 60 names that start with 'Hi!'
