About Spencer

Meet Spencer, a lively jack rat terrier mix who is 2-3 years old. He came to us from animal control after being allowed to roam without proper care. Now that he's received the veterinary attention he needed, Spencer is ready for his forever home! Spencer bursts with personality and is incredibly outgoing—he doesn’t let his small size hold him back from enjoying life to the fullest. He would thrive in an active household that enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures. Spencer gets along well with other dogs with a proper introduction, and while he hasn't been around cats, older kids would suit him just fine. He's smart and quick to learn commands, making training a breeze. Spencer is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, crated trained, and housebroken. He's also been treated for heartworms and is on prevention. Adopting Spencer comes with a fee of $85. For those interested, please complete an adoption application. Out-of-state adoptions are welcome, but in-person meetings are required before any adoption can be finalized. Don’t miss out on this lively companion. Ready to fall in love?
