Spike is a timid yet incredibly sweet boy who quickly becomes your shadow once he warms up to you. He has never shown aggression, even when scared, and is a total lover of people. While he may take a few minutes to feel comfortable, once he does, he wants to be wherever you are—whether it’s cuddling on the couch, following you outside while you garden, or rolling over for belly rubs. He is gentle, affectionate, and loving with everyone he meets. He can be timid around new people, especially men, but warms up quickly with patience. Spike is not very interested in playing with other dogs, but he peacefully coexists with both large and small dogs. He loves children and has been very gentle with an 18-month-old toddler. Spike is fully potty trained and sleeps through the night. He is crate trained and comfortable being crated, though he’d much rather cuddle with his humans. He is learning leash skills and would benefit from a patient owner who can help him feel safe while exploring. He is low to medium energy, and two walks a day are plenty. He enjoys lounging outdoors while you work in the yard and is great in the car, settling quickly on the seat or in the footwell. Spike is currently a little overweight—about 5 to 10 pounds over his ideal weight—and is on a diet to help him get back to a healthy weight. He also has moderate seasonal allergies, mostly shown as itchy paws, and is still figuring out the best way to manage them. Spike is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and shower his humans with cuddles and affection. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will adore you endlessly, Spike might just be your perfect match! Soike is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all vaccines.
