About Spice

Spice is a vibrant little personality who’s ready to find her throne in a loving home. At around 3-4 months old, this small Wirehaired Terrier mix is full of spirit despite her shy tendencies. After a community effort to rescue her from under a shed, she emerged with a zest for life but still needs some time to build trust with new people. Spice is quite playful and curious, bringing a sassy flair to her adventures. She is not suited for homes with small children due to her nippy nature when frightened, but she gets along with other dogs and cats.
