About Spencer
At 13 years old, Spencer is still finding his way after a sudden upheaval in his life. This small Bichon mix, weighing around 16 pounds, has lost his home and familiar surroundings due to unforeseen circumstances with his dad. Understandably, this has left him feeling anxious and a bit grumpy, which is more than fair for an old gentleman in his position. While staying with Director Beth, he’s learning to adjust to this new reality. Spencer has limited hearing and vision and prefers not to be picked up or groomed, especially on his front half. He generally ignores other dogs if they respect his space, but should avoid rowdy companions. Spencer keeps his area clean and is alert when he needs to go outside. He adores his walks, showcasing determination with every step, perhaps hoping to find his dad around the next corner. He is still adjusting to food changes, with an occasional accident, but transitions best with some canned food added to his meals. Scheduled for a full veterinary exam and dental work, Spencer is looking for a quiet, patient home without rowdy canines or children. This seasoned pup deserves the peace he’s been searching for in his golden years. It’s essential for potential adopters to understand that Spencer needs a predictable routine, gentle hands, and some time to adjust. He deserves to be loved and cared for without the pressure to reinvent himself overnight. Let’s help him reclaim his joy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
