Spartan was running with a large group of Border Collies that were dumped. He was the last one to be rescued as he was shy and very elusive, he was eventually trapped and brought into the shelter. When he arrived, he was very shy and unsure of the shelter environment but has flourished with time and a little extra TLC. He loves to go on walks and loves to be with you! Spartan is a gentle guy that will need someone that understands that he may not be the bravest dog, but he will certainly be your best friend no matter what! Spartan did test positive for lyme and anaplasmosis that come from tick bites. He also tested positive for Hepatozoonosis americanum which is a tick bourne disease that comes from consuming affected ticks. He has been treated for the Lyme and Anaplasmosis and has been given initial treatment for the Hepatozoonosis americanum. However, Hepatozoonosis americanum is unfortunately something he will have for the rest of his life, but it can be managed. Spartan will need a home that understands that he will need regular veterinary care and are able to provide him with it, especially when he has a flare up. Spartan is hoping to find his loving forever home where he will not have to worry about being left behind ever again! Spartan must meet all members of the family that reside in the home. He has been neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, Heartworm/Lyme tested, and microchipped since his arrival at the shelter.
