About Hiccup
Meet Hiccup! This incredible three-year-old Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier/Mastiff mix resides in West Hartford, CT. Hiccup is a special guy with a gentle heart and a beautiful light brown fawn coat. Weighing around 60 pounds, this three-legged boy has made significant progress after overcoming serious injuries he sustained over a year ago. Now healthy and full of life, he’s ready for a new adventure with a patient family who appreciates his unique spirit. Hiccup thrives on forming deep, lasting bonds with his human companions. He becomes truly joyous during spirited games of fetch with his squeaky toys, proudly bringing them back for more. After playtime, you'll often find him curled up on the couch, enjoying a well-deserved nap close to his loved ones. His missing leg doesn’t stop him from exploring the yard or enjoying leisurely walks. Hiccup is incredibly smart, knows numerous commands like sit, stay, and touch, and loves engaging training sessions. He needs an experienced adopter who understands behavior support to continue the fantastic progress he’s made. Due to some past trauma, Hiccup is reactive to other dogs and chaos, so he’d thrive in an adult-only home, preferably one without other pets. Calm, predictable surroundings will help him flourish. While he can be cautious around unfamiliar men, he warms up with thoughtful introductions. Hiccup is house-trained, crate-trained, microchipped, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He doesn't suffer from separation anxiety, but his sensitive skin and mobility require some extra consideration, like having minimal stairs at home. With so much love and loyalty to offer, could Hiccup be the devoted companion you’ve been searching for? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
