Story
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 1 year (as of 2/15/24) Weight: 54 pounds (as of 4/15/24) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Sugar Spiceworth is a very affectionate and outgoing Treeing Walker hound mix who is about a year old. She was dropped off last summer at a local dog rescue agency and has been living in a foster home with two adults and a dog. She is well-integrated into the home, and regularly spends time with a seven-year-old child and a thirteen-year-old child. She is friendly and playful, but sometimes a little rowdy with kids, so she may not be the best fit for a home with very young children. Sugar Spiceworth has not lived with cats or small animals, but when she sees them outside, she is very interested and sometimes barks. She is always happy to meet new dogs and has been both agreeable and responsive to corrections. She loves playing bitey mouth, chase, or tug-o-war with her canine friends. She loves toys of all kinds, especially squeakies. Her house, crate, and leash training are all in progress, and she is doing well. She is left alone for a few hours at a time and may bark at first, but then she settles down. Like many young dogs, Sugar Spiceworth is prone to pulling on the leash. She will sometimes indulge in a bit of counter surfing, and she likes to jump on furniture, especially couches. She is calm in the car but will sometimes try to escape during transfers out of pure eagerness. We recommend training for all of our dogs, especially puppies, and it is a great way for both of you to learn commands together while the dog gains confidence. It's also fun! Sugar Spiceworth is always ready for a new adventure, but she will also enjoy curling up next to you on the couch for a nap. She is a lovely young hound mix who is going to be a fun and energetic companion to anyone who is lucky enough to bring her home!
