Hi, I'm Spike! I'm full of energy, and I get along great with other dogs. I love to cuddle and I'm always up for some fun with my toys. I'm a delightful hound mix with a happy face, but behind this smile is a past I am trying to overcome. I've had a bit of a tough journey. I was adopted once, but then I had to go back to the shelter through no fault of my own. Because of spacing constraints, I ended up on the euthanasia list. But I'm a real gem and lucky for me the folks at the shelter recognized that and that's when Big Dog Ranch came to my Rescue. I have an irresistible charm and a playful nature that draws people in. I love affection and attention, and despite the challenges I've faced, I remain resilient and hopeful. I'm looking for a new chapter in my life filled with love and security. I need a family that can offer me the affection & attention I deserve, as well as keep me busy since I have lots of energy to burn. I pray for a home where my endearing personality can truly shine and is appreciated. I'm ready to find a home that loves me for who I am and is willing to put in the time to train me and make me a forever member of the family. I am a smarty and I admit can be a bit jumpy but that's just because I get so excited at the thought of going home. I will try hard to be the bestest boy I can be though. Could you be the family I've been waiting on for so long? I hope so. Please come and get me.
