Cyrique

Cyrique is from the island of Dominica; no information about his history before he was rescued is available. He traveled to Brooklyn in late June 2026.

Cyrique decides about new people on his own terms. He watches, he weighs, and once he trusts you, he is all in. He is a goofy, clumsy, inquisitive guy with moderate energy whose favorite thing in the world is being close to his person. He'll trail you up and down the stairs, settle in for long cuddle sessions, and once flopped down beside his foster to copy her exact lying-down pose at the computer. He adores his balls and chew toys, prances and jumps after them, and is puzzling his way through the concept of fetch.

New people take him time. He is shy and needs an unhurried, low-key introduction, warming up faster when nobody pushes the moment. For that reason he does best in a calm, patient, low-traffic home that lets him build trust at his own speed, ideally with someone who has known a shy dog before. Once he is there, he returns the patience with total devotion.

A few things about him are still unknown as he settles in: he hasn't lived with cats or young children, and his fit with other dogs is still being sorted out, though early meetings have been curious and friendly.

On the practical side, he is house trained, settles calmly in his crate after a good walk, and is still learning leash manners in the city. He is not especially food-motivated, so training rewards patience over speed. He's named for a remote Dominica waterfall you have to climb down a cliff to reach, and the people who make that effort find something spectacular. Cyrique is much the same

The dogs in our care are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered (when old enough), microchipped, and given a general health check. Immediate medical needs will be addressed prior to adoption.

A medical history can be sent to applicants and approved adopters.

Complete vet records will be sent shortly after adoption but can also be sent pre-adoption, upon request.
