About Spotticus

Spotticus, or "Spot" if you like nicknames, is a 70-pound boxer mix who wants nothing more than to be your oversized lap dog. Expect the full cuddle experience—he’ll happily sprawl across you for a nap but surprises you with bursts of speed when something excites him. Spot is the gentlest soul: he’s housebroken, easy on a leash, and wins over every kid he meets. He usually does well with other dogs, but cats are not his crowd. Attention is his currency, especially if it comes with ear rubs and the occasional treat like ice cubes, carrots, or peanut butter. Spot gives excellent kisses on top of it all. He’s equally content snuggled up on the couch or hanging in his crate, and his signature move is rolling around outside whether there’s mud or not. Spot doesn’t mind a bath and genuinely enjoys the routine. This goofy, affectionate guy is ready to join a family willing to keep him close, laugh at his antics, and dole out plenty of couch time. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
