Spike is a big sweetheart. He is a great protector, does not beg, gets along with most dogs, and is crate trained. Spike was surrendered by his owner as they recognized that he was not getting sufficient attention and love. For most of his day, he was chained or in a crate; he was rarely walked. He was surrendered to us to receive better care. A4P has updated his shots, got him fixed, had his teeth cleaned, and we are happy to report he has a clean bill of heath. In his foster home, Spike is LOVING his walks but will need more leash training. He would make a great addition to any family.
