About Spice

Meet Spice. She arrived with her sister Cinnamon, though honestly, Sugar and Cinnabon would be just as fitting—these two can’t get any sweeter. Spice is guessed to be around 8-10 years old and is about as easygoing as they come. She’s part of a senior pair who will keep your lap (and heart) full—if you’re sitting, she’s happy to curl up right on you, but if your lap’s taken, she’ll find her sister for warmth. Both girls are fully house trained, friendly with all dogs and people, and seem happy just following their person around to supervise a few chores or sniff the fresh air on a quick potty break. Spice is spayed, has an updated dental, weighs about 10 pounds, and recently got a clean bill of health. She’s safe in foster, but ready for a permanent lap. Ready to meet your new best friend?
