Cinco - Hound and Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

Meet Cinco: Professional Snuggler, Adventure Dog & Licensed Fly Assassin!

Cinco is a shy guy at first, but once you've passed his background check, prepare yourself! This timid little dude turns into a hilarious, affectionate, roughhousing, zoomie-powered cuddle bug.

Cinco LOVES his people. He sleeps in bed, specializes in morning cuddles and has ridiculously silky-soft fur. He's friendly and submissive with other dogs and very pack-oriented. His dream home would include a confident, playful dog sibling who enjoys wrestling, chasing and general canine nonsense as much as he does.

Athletically, Cinco is basically a tiny superhero. He gets absolutely ridiculous zoomies where he tucks his butt and tail and becomes a furry missile. He'd make an awesome running or hiking buddy and needs plenty of daily exercise to keep his brilliant puppy ideas to a minimum.

He recently tried paddleboarding and crushed it. Calmly rode around like a seasoned professional. Swimming? Still under review. Waves? Suspicious. Accidentally falls off the paddleboard? Turns out he CAN swim.

Cinco is 99.9% potty trained, uses the dog door, knows "sit," walks nicely without pulling and is kennel trained -- although he would like it officially documented that entering the kennel requires appropriate treat-based compensation. His recall and basic manners are still developing, and occasionally he gives enthusiastic full-body "hugs."

He also has some puppy tendencies. If you leave a shoe, cord, blanket or other interesting object within reach, Cinco may conduct an unauthorized quality-control inspection. Luckily, he redirects well to toys, bones and his beloved beef cheek rolls. And if your home has flies? Not anymore. Cinco takes pest control VERY seriously.

Cinco needs a patient, active family who will give him a little time to feel safe with new people. Once he decides you're his person, you get the full Cinco experience: cuddles, adventures, wrestling, hilarious zoomies, unconditional love and complimentary fly removal. Honestly, it's a pretty solid package.
