About Spruce

Spruce needs a medical foster home to help him thrive after being abandoned. Despite his significant challenges, including a spinal cord injury and hip fractures, this young dog is full of life and happiness. Just about a year old, he loves people and seeks affection, always eager to be close to his humans. Spruce requires some additional care, including diaper changes and hygiene assistance. He would thrive best in a quiet home, ideally without other dogs or with just male companions. The shelter will cover all veterinary costs while continuing to manage his medical needs. He’s looking for someone special who understands the unique joy of caring for a dog like him. If you or someone you know could give Spruce the loving home he deserves, please consider applying today!
