About Spencer

Spencer is a sharp and soulful Mountain Cur mix with a standout look in chocolate brown and black. He’s the kind of dog who bonds fiercely and will always remember the friends he makes—loyalty runs deep with him. As a graduate of Superstar Pup Academy, Spencer brings loads of smarts and a curious, eager spirit. His favorite things are snacks, sniffing the neighborhood on walks, and a quick kiss for the people he loves—even if he’d rather you ask before hugging him! Spencer thrives on engagement and routine, gaining confidence with every bit of structure his person can offer. He’s housebroken and making steady progress on crate-training. While he likes friendly dogs and could live with another patient pup, he’d also be fine as a solo dog. Spencer isn’t comfortable with children and must be adopted into an adult-only home. He's up to date on vaccinations and neutered, so he’s ready to settle in with someone ready for a true companion. Spencer was born on November 23rd, which makes him a Sagittarius—always seeking adventure! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
