About Hiccup

Meet Hiccup, a small dog with a big personality! This little lady, sporting a purple sweater, has a crucial message: please respect my personal space. Hiccup has experienced a heartbreaking change after losing her owner, leaving her frightened and confused in a new environment with her three companions. Though she may seem standoffish, it’s important to understand that beneath her cautious exterior is a dog yearning for trust and safety. She may bite when scared, which means her future family needs to prioritize her boundaries and be patient. Hiccup requires an experienced, adult-only home where someone can handle fear-related behaviors with compassion. She thrives best in a calm environment that emphasizes patience, consistency, and respect for her space. Hiccup doesn't need encouragement to be brave; she needs someone ready to provide her with a safe haven to grow. Although she arrived with her companions, Hiccup’s adoption does not require them to be placed together. Resident dog introductions will be necessary for new companions. This little one deserves a home where her struggles are understood, and her journey towards feeling secure continues. Every dog deserves compassion and a chance at a better life.
