SWEETIE PIE #1 - HOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Hound / Mixed. Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure Sweetie Pie finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails) . Sweetie Pie | 5-Year-Old Foxhound | Happy Prancer with a Big Heart Sweetie Pie is a 65-pound brown-and-white Foxhound who lives up to his name in every way. He’s reliably house trained, usually standing by the door when he needs to go out, and has had little to no accidents in his foster home. On leash, he does fairly well—he may pull a bit at times, but he enjoys getting out to explore. When left home alone for a few hours, he’s been a perfect angel, especially when crated with another dog nearby (and a little YouTube dog TV for company). This friendly guy does great with other dogs of all sizes and enjoys canine companionship. He hasn’t been tested with cats or children yet, but he’s generally easygoing and affectionate with everyone he meets. Sweetie Pie is kennel trained, goes into his crate easily (especially with a treat), and sleeps through the night. He’s also a low shedder and a polite eater who tends to graze rather than gulp his meals. Sweetie Pie has a higher energy level and will thrive in an active home. Long walks, hikes, car rides, and outdoor adventures are right up his alley. Because of his energy and typical hound curiosity, he is not suited for apartment living and will need a home with a securely fenced yard (6-foot fence) where he can safely stretch his legs. He knows several commands, including stay, wait, and leave it, and loves to prance around happily before flopping over for belly rubs. Sweetie Pie is currently heartworm positive, which is not contagious to other dogs or people, and Animal Rescue of the Rockies will cover the full cost of his treatment. His treatment will take place in Westminster and requires several veterinary visits over the course of the year, including injections that require all-day drop-off appointments. During treatment, he’ll need to follow a strict rest protocol to prevent complications—meaning no running or high-energy exercise and only two short (10–15 minute) calm sniff walks per day. Once his treatment is complete, however, Sweetie Pie is expected to live a completely normal, happy, and active life.. Sweetie Pie would love an active home with plenty of companionship and affection—and once he’s finished with treatment, he’ll be ready for all the adventures life has to offer!
