Story
Meet Ciccio!
Ciccio is a 4-year-old male American Foxhound.
Ciccio is an active and incredibly smart boy who likes exploring his surroundings, relaxing on the couch while you scratch his tummy, going for walks, and running. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for running and playing; he would also be a fabulous running/hiking buddy as he is always up for a fun adventure!
Ciccio knows basic commands such as “sit”, “down”, “stay”, “come here”, and “paw”. He is a quick learner and learns new commands very easily.
Ciccio would love an active family. If you enjoy a good game of fetch and rope tug, you'll have a friend for life in Ciccio.
Ciccio has a lot of love to give but when transferred to our rescue via the owner (for getting away from the townhouse/ no fenced yard) showed some concerning behaviors at first (Barking non stop, did not allow food to be removed, barrier protection and did not react well when restrained). He no longer shows these behaviors, with his care taker, but any future adopter/owner will need to be aware that he needs time to get into a routine. Ciccio NEEDS routine. We recommend a home for Ciccio without young children. A home with a fenced yard, and possibly someone who loves walking a dog. Ciccio loves walks, but is strong on leash.
Ciccio encountered dogs on his walk that charged him and that were lose and practiced avoidance. He gets used to other foster dogs in his space and shows signs of playfulness with smaller young dogs.
If you'd like to meet Ciccio, please apply at www.puppypawsrescue.org. If you're not ready to adopt but would like to learn about fostering, please send us a message to get started. We are always looking for fosters!
PLEASE NOTE:
We review veterinary care for applicants. This includes regular well visits, core vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm, tickborne tests, regular monthly heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention. You MUST contact your veterinarian’s office to give them permission to speak to us BEFORE we call them to verify the care you have provided for your pets.
Applications are available at www.puppypawsrescue.org If your application meets our adoption criteria, we will contact you within 1 week. At that time, you will be contacted (usually by email) to schedule a phone interview and a virtual home visit (Facetime, Skype, etc). PLEASE CHECK your SPAM folder for emails from Puppy Paws Rescue.
Due to the volume of applications, applications that do not move forward to an interview may not receive a reply within that time frame. Our rescue is an all-volunteer team managing families, our paying jobs, households, foster dogs, application processing, interviews, home visits, follow-up, transports, and much more. We ask that you are courteous and patient with us.
If you’re seeing this listing the dog/puppy is still available. Please do not send an inquiry asking if the dog/puppy is available.
All of our dogs/puppies are kept in private foster homes. For this reason, we do not schedule meets until after an application has been processed and approved. If you’re interested in meeting the animal, you must first submit an application on our website- www.puppypawsrescue.org.
