SPENCE - The Vintage Charm Gentleman in Training Some puppies crash into life like confetti cannons. Spence arrived like a freshly polished locket: quiet shimmer, soft glow, secrets of sweetness tucked safely inside. Born in September and part of the Vintage Charm Litter, Spence is the old soul of the collection - the puppy equivalent of a handwritten postcard from a kinder era. At first, he lingers at the edges of the room, a shy little gentleman adjusting his metaphorical bow tie, watching the world with thoughtful curiosity. But offer him patience, a soft voice, a warm hand, and suddenly... he blooms. And what emerges is lovely. Spence becomes a gentle, heart-forward devotee of cuddles - the kind of boy who rests his head on your chest like he's listening for your heartbeat's approval. His love is quiet but deep, soft but steady, the kind of affection that feels like someone draping a warm quilt over your shoulders on a cold morning. He adores humans with tender devotion, and he does beautifully with other dogs - especially those who help him learn the choreography of confidence. Spence watches, studies, absorbs, then follows with his own careful little steps, like a vintage slow dance he's finally ready to join. Playtime delights him; naptime defines him. After a joyful romp, he curls into you with the certainty of someone who knows he has found his place, even if he's still growing brave enough to claim it out loud. Spence is sweetness in sepia tone - a thoughtful spirit, a loving heart, a quiet boy with a bright future. If you're searching for a companion who will adore you gently, trust you deeply, and grow courageously in your care, Spence is ready to turn your home into his forever chapter. The Vintage Charm collection wouldn't be complete without him. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures.
