Meet Spike! 🌟 This sweet soul has faced challenges that would make anyone's heart ache. Before he was saved, life wasn’t too kind to Spike, leaving him feeling a bit fearful of new faces. But don’t let his growls and snarls fool you—beneath that tough exterior lies a longing for love and companionship! ❤️ Now, here’s the thing, potential adopter: Spike needs someone who's patient and kind, someone willing to journey with him as he learns to trust. He’s not a fan of men or boys, so he’ll thrive best in a calm environment with a special lady friend—if you're a single woman with few distractions, you could be exactly what Spike dreams of! 🥰 Let’s break down what to expect once you welcome this little guy into your home: - **Days 1-30ish**: Think of Spike as a shy little ninja who prefers to hide! He might growl when you glance his way, even if you’re offering his favorite snacks. - **Days 31-45**: Ah, baby steps! He’ll start to approach you, maybe even give your leg a poke with his cute little nose… and then dart away. Eye contact is a no-go for now! 😊 - **Days 45-55**: Time for cozy moments under the covers! He’ll delight in your warmth, but remember—this is on Spike’s terms. Sneaky little touches? Not yet! - **Days 55-70**: Look who’s brave now! He’ll snag treats from your hand, but he’s still a bit of a skittish sweetheart. Tiny head scratches are becoming acceptable—he’s making progress! 🐾 - **Days 70-90**: Possibly the most heartwarming phase! Spike will let you pick him up, but brace yourself for some melodramatic yelps! Still, he’ll greet you with a wagging tail and maybe even a snuggle or two above the covers. How amazing is that? - **By Day 90**: If you hang in there through this incredible journey, Spike will be yours forever! Picture this—he’ll be bounding towards you for hugs and kisses, filled with gratitude and love. Talk about a transformation! 🎉 And here’s a little cherry on top: Spike loves other dogs! Once the 90-day Spike boot camp is complete, you'll find he has an easygoing nature—probably snuggled up on your lap or snoozing during the day. 💤 So, if you’ve got the heart and patience to give Spike the home he deserves, don’t wait!
