Sweetie Pie | 5-year-old Hound | A big-hearted boy who just wants to be loved
Sweetie Pie is a 5-year-old hound weighing about 60 pounds with a handsome brown coat and a whole lot of love to give. He’s a friendly, playful, and sweet boy who truly enjoys being around people and other dogs. He has had positive interactions with dogs of all sizes and ages and does well with children, including kids under 10. Sweetie Pie doesn’t show a preference for men or women—he loves everyone equally and is happiest when he’s part of the action.
Sweetie Pie is somewhat house trained and is still learning, but he does let you know he needs to go out by standing at the door. He enjoys going for walks and does fairly well on leash, though he can pull a bit and should always remain leashed, as he has a tendency to wander. He definitely prefers being outside, where he can sniff and explore, but he is gradually becoming more comfortable indoors with time and routine. Structure and boundaries are still a work in progress for him, and he will benefit from a patient home willing to continue that training.
Crate training is going well and actually helps keep Sweetie Pie calm. He may whine or bark briefly when crated or left alone, but he settles down and often goes to sleep. He has been left alone for 3–4 hours at a time and does okay, especially when crated. Outside of the crate, he may vocalize if left alone, so continued work on confidence and independence will be important.
Sweetie Pie has a higher energy level and will eventually need regular daily exercise, such as longer walks or hikes, to be ready to relax on the couch. At the moment, however, his activity is limited because he is undergoing treatment for heartworm. Food, affection, and getting outside are his biggest motivators, and while he hasn’t shown much interest in toys yet, he loves to sniff and explore. Some of his favorite endearing behaviors include resting his head on you and happily flopping over for belly rubs.
Sweetie Pie was rescued from North Carolina and has had a rough past, including being chained or crated for long periods of time and moving through several homes. Despite this, he remains incredibly well-natured and trusting. His ideal home would have a securely fenced yard (six-foot fencing recommended), another dog or dogs to keep him company, and people who enjoy having a loyal, affectionate companion around. With patience, consistency, and love, Sweetie Pie will make a wonderful addition to the right home.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you. (Remember to check your spam folder for our emails!) We want our pets to go to a lifelong new home, so thank you for your patience during the adoption process!
Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls.
PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/
Our adoption process is:
1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet.
2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
