About Spice

Spice is a 3-year-old, 55-pound spayed female Boxer mix with a larger-than-life personality who’s ready to find her forever home in Horse Shoe, NC. She came into rescue after raising her puppies—now that they’re all adopted, it’s finally her turn. Spice thrives outdoors, always up for a game of chase in the yard, and loves running, sunbathing, or just acting goofy. She’s high-energy, but after a good zoomie session, she’s surprisingly mellow and turns into a world-class snuggler. Walks excite her, and though she might pull at first, she settles nicely once the initial excitement passes. Spice has also served as a blood donor at a local vet, saving other dogs—a real hero. Spice does well with adults and older kids and enjoys the company of other dogs, though she plays hard and would do best living with a similarly energetic, easygoing dog—or as a solo pet. She’s good with other dogs on walks or in public but must have a cat-free home. She’s housebroken, crate trained, and currently fed in her crate due to some food guarding tendencies. Spice needs a secure yard and a family who understands both her affection and need for structure. She’s clever and eager to learn, and she loves hiking, exploring nature, and car rides. If you want a loyal, loving, and active companion who makes you laugh and will cuddle up at the end of the day, Spice could be your perfect match. A home check and vet references are required, and adopters must be within a reasonable driving distance of Horse Shoe, NC or Greenville, SC. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
