Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

**AVAILABLE ONSITE STARTING WEDNESDAY 2/18**

This amazing boy....
Cyril came to Saving Grace very underweight, but thanks to quick care from our amazing volunteers, this resilient young adult is already showing just how bright his future will be. He still has some weight to gain, but his sweet personality is shining through more every day. This handsome, gentle, and lovable boy thrives on affection - he enjoys snuggles, soaks up every bit of attention, and would love a home filled with laughter, kindness, and cozy moments.

Because Cyril had a rough start before coming to Saving Grace, he is currently a bit shy and nervous around new people and experiences. However, he is making progress every day, adjusting well to house rules. While in foster, he made friends with the resident dogs almost instantly and settled into his new environment within just a few days. He also does well in his crate once he is gently coaxed inside. Cyril enjoys going for walks, investigating his surroundings, and playing with balls, bones, and non-squeaking toys. His favorite activities are mealtime and snuggling with his people. He is almost fully house-trained and communicates his need to go outside by pacing or heading to the door. Having regular walks or outside breaks throughout the day will be very beneficial as he adjusts to his new surroundings.

He would thrive in a calm, loving home with a fenced yard where he can relax if he feels overwhelmed. Cyril is just beginning to understand kindness, and his bravery grows every day. While he is initially shy, he is very affectionate once he feels comfortable. With patience and love, he will undoubtedly become a loyal and devoted family member. If you're looking for a gentle companion who's overcome a tough start and is ready to blossom, Cyril is waiting to meet you!

Host Sleepover Feedback: "Cyril is such a sweet soul, his kind eyes will melt you. He was very fearful when first arriving at our home, but after our other two dogs were introduced he immediately relaxed and his tail went from tucked between his legs to wagging. Cyril is obsessed with doggie beds, and his favorites are the orthopedic with memory foam. Cyril did not have any accidents in the house, and would potty whenever he was taken out. He slept quietly all night in a crate in our bedroom. He wasn't feeling 100% so Cyril rested a lot in front of the fire. Cyril likes being around people, and will happily accept all the pets and love!"

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
