About Spurgeon in LA

Meet Spurgeon, a charming 3-year-old Dachshund located in Shelbyville, TN. He came to us from Tennessee due to a change in his previous household. At first, Spurgeon might seem a bit reserved, but his true personality shines through when he's around other dogs. He gets along well with both male and female pups, but he prefers to avoid cats. Spurgeon’s ideal home includes a fenced yard and another small dog to keep him company and encourage his sociable side. He’s great with older kids (10 years and up), but due to his playful nature, he might unintentionally knock down younger children. Spurgeon is house trained and adjusting well to crate training. He’s also working on his leash skills. He needs a home with someone who can be around more often — sorry, no apartments or high-rises. If you’re looking for a handsome buddy to join your family, Spurgeon could be the perfect fit! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
