Oh, hello you! Hiccup here.

I've mastered the art of three-legged elegance, and I assure you, I notice everything worth noticing—which is nearly everything.

Word is I'm a championship snuggler. I don't like to brag, but the notes don't lie.

Born and (almost) raised right here in San Jose.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Hiccup

About Hiccup

Meet Hiccup! What do you get when you cross a Shih Tzu with a French Bulldog...and take away one leg? You get Hiccup! At just 2 years old and 26 pounds, Hiccup is equal parts adorable, goofy, and affectionate. Don't let his three legs fool you—this little guy is always ready for his next adventure! Whether it's a neighborhood walk, a ride in the car, or tagging along on your daily errands, Hiccup is convinced every outing is a celebration, and everyone he meets is his new best friend. Hiccup is a social butterfly who would happily introduce you to all of his friends if he could. His cheerful personality and contagious enthusiasm make him a joy to have by your side. Miss something interesting? Hiccup will give you a quick alert bark to make sure you see what he sees and then will quietly let you take the lead. When it's time to slow down, Hiccup is just as happy to curl up for cuddles. He has the perfect balance of playful energy and loving companionship. Hiccup would thrive as your one-and-only pup, but he'd also fit right into a family with other dogs. Give him a backyard or a nearby park, and he'll happily spend hours exploring the world one sniff at a time. As a young dog, Hiccup will benefit from continued training to help him become the very best version of himself. He still struggles a bit with his house training - playtime is just too fun! The good news? He already has a wonderful foundation and is eager to keep learning. Hiccup is a typical, high-energy two year old who needs regular walks and lots of play time. He's starting to learn good manners—he's mastered sit and is currently puzzling out lie down! He'll thrive in a home that continues to help him develop proper boundaries and manners with loving patience and a sense of humor. If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick with a huge heart, an irresistible smile, and a one-of-a-kind story, Hiccup is waiting to meet you. Want to see more of his adventures?
