Spruce is a lively and eager one-year-old terrier mix in Cape May Court House, NJ. When his previous owners were unable to keep him, he wound up at the shelter, bringing his big heart and even bigger energy. He thrives on activity and can’t wait for outdoor playtime—harnesses are no hassle for him. Ball chasing is right up his alley, though the idea of fetching is still a work in progress. Spruce’s focus can shift easily from training to exploring the yard, but he stays motivated by treats and enjoys picking up new skills along the way. He’s been raised with children and gets along well, always gentle and playful. Crate training is under his belt, which helps smooth his transition into new routines. Spruce does fine with other dogs but won’t be suitable for homes with cats. His leash manners need some work, but he’s cooperative and will learn quickly with guidance. A family who loves to do things outdoors or has plenty of room for play will be a perfect match for Spruce’s lively spirit. With patience and activity, he’ll make a loving, devoted companion. Spruce is a Virgo—known for being clever, curious, and full of energy. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
