About "Spitfire"

Meet Spitfire, a brave girl who was rescued from the middle of a highway. Found stray and without a collar, she was nearly hit by a truck before some good-hearted people took the time to earn her trust and secure her with a slip leash. After spending three days in a kennel without being claimed, she was taken in by her rescuers who worked hard to get her healthy, spayed, and vaccinated. True to her nickname, Spitfire has a lively personality. She enjoys the company of other dogs but can be reactive over treats and toys, so she may do best as the only pet or with experienced adopters who understand her needs. This girl is not suitable for homes with cats. Still young and full of energy, she would thrive in an active household, ideally with older children. Spitfire is learning how to embrace her new life, and with a loving family, she will flourish. She’s smart, loyal, and affectionate, ready for a home that’s willing to help her learn and grow. Give Spitfire the loving home she deserves, and she'll be a wonderful companion. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
