About Spanky

Spanky is an adorable 11-year-old Yorkie mix currently being fostered in Elizabethtown, KY. Weighing in at 10 lbs, this affectionate little companion is happiest right beside his human. He loves to curl up on the couch, snuggle in bed, or follow you from room to room. On chilly nights, he's like a living heating blanket, providing warmth and comfort. Spanky gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and is gentle with kids. However, he prefers to be the only dog, soaking up all the attention and love from his favorite person. He’s already using a doggy door and is working on his house-training, but he’ll need a patient adopter to continue guiding him. Spanky also requires daily eye lubricant to keep his eyes comfortable. If you’re looking for a devoted little shadow who will love you wholeheartedly, Spanky might just be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
