About Hiccup

Meet Hiccup! This resilient three-year-old Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier/Mastiff mix is currently in Amherst, MA. His gentle heart shines as brightly as his handsome light brown fawn coat. Weighing in at around 60 pounds, this remarkable three-legged boy has spent the past year healing after arriving at a veterinary hospital with serious injuries. Today, he is healthy, full of life, and ready to begin an exciting new chapter with a patient family who will appreciate everything that makes him special. Hiccup bonds deeply with his favorite person. He lights up during spirited games of fetch, proudly returning the squeaky toy time and again! Once the fun is over, he’s often found stretched across the couch, catching well-deserved naps while staying close to his loved ones. His missing front leg never slows his enthusiasm for exploring the yard or enjoying leisurely walks. Incredibly intelligent, Hiccup knows commands like sit, stay, wait, and drop it. He thrives on positive reinforcement training and enjoys learning new skills alongside his favorite human. Hiccup would flourish with an experienced pet parent who understands behavior support. He is reactive to other dogs and moving objects, including young children, so he needs an adult-only home without other pets, where his environment stays calm and predictable. While he may be cautious around unfamiliar men, thoughtful introductions will help bring out his affectionate nature. Hiccup is house-trained, crate-trained, microchipped, neutered, and current on vaccinations, plus he has no separation anxiety. His sensitive skin and three-legged mobility need a bit of extra care, ideally in a home with minimal stairs. He has so much love, loyalty, and joy to share. Could Hiccup be the devoted companion you've been hoping for? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
