About Hiccup
Meet Hiccup! This resilient three-year-old Labrador Retriever/Mastiff mix is currently in West Hartford, CT, with a gentle heart that shines as brightly as his light brown fawn coat. Weighing around 60 pounds, this remarkable three-legged boy has spent the past year healing after serious injuries. Today, he is healthy, full of life, and ready for a new beginning with a patient family who will appreciate everything that makes him special. Hiccup is the type of companion who forms deep, lasting bonds. He lights up at the sound of a squeaky toy, eagerly playing fetch and bringing the toy back time after time. When playtime wraps up, he’s often found stretched out on the couch, taking well-earned naps close to his loved ones. His missing front leg does not stop him; he enthusiastically explores the yard and enjoys leisurely walks. An intelligent dog, Hiccup knows commands like sit, stay, and drop it, and thrives in training that’s engaging and varied. An experienced pet parent is essential as he is reactive to other dogs and certain triggers, including the fast movements of young children. Therefore, he would do best in an adult-only home without other pets, where he can enjoy a calm and predictable environment. Hiccup may be cautious with unfamiliar men initially, but thoughtful introductions show his affectionate side. He is house-trained, crate-trained, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Hiccup does not suffer from separation anxiety, but his sensitive skin and three-legged mobility require a little extra sensitivity, preferably in a home with few stairs. This loving boy has so much loyalty and joy to share. Could Hiccup be the devoted companion you’ve been hoping to find? Ready to find your new best friend? Apply now!
