About Spike JuM

Spike JuM definitely carries a strong name, but he’s more of a fun-loving goofball. Despite his size, he’s playful and exuberant, thanking his lucky stars for a second chance after being rescued from a high-kill shelter in West Texas. With his heartworm treatment now behind him, he’s ready to find a family who’ll give him a real home. Spike gets along with kids, making him a great companion for a family looking for an enthusiastic, active pet. However, he prefers to be the only dog or to share his space with a submissive canine buddy, as he has a dominant side. Being a husky, he’s active, has a thick coat that sheds a lot, and experiences the world with endless curiosity. Cooler weather would be a welcome change for him, as he’s currently navigating the Texas heat. Spike is ready to join a family that understands his breed and is ready for a lively lifestyle.
