About Spur

Spur is the kind of dog that easily wins over everyone at the shelter—even the staff would take him home if they could. He's a Heeler mix with classic tricolor markings and plenty of personality. Spur is outgoing, loves people, and fits right in during his office dog shifts. He’s got a good head for leash walks and doesn’t have the typical nipping behavior that sometimes comes with Heelers. He’ll need a home that can match his energy both mentally and physically, as he’s only about a year old and still very energetic. Loyal to his family, Spur has all the positive traits of his breed and will reward the right person with real companionship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
