About Spencer

Meet Spencer. For weeks, this friendly boy was on his own, trying to navigate life without anyone to call his own. Thankfully, "the Retrievers" were able to safely live-trap him, giving him the second chance he desperately needed. Since arriving at the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter of McLeod County, Spencer has been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. At about 3 years old, he is proving to be a sweet and happy companion, curious about what it means to have a family. With proper introductions, Spencer can get along well with other dogs. He maintains a clean kennel, showing that he is doing his best to be a good boy. However, he struggles with being put back into his kennel, clearly heartbroken and longing for companionship. After spending too many weeks alone, Spencer is ready to exchange his survival instincts for a life filled with love, comfort, and a family of his own. Could you be the one to show Spencer that he never has to be alone again? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
