About Spike

Spike is discovering that kindness is as strong as toughness. When given the chance, he shows himself to be dependable, thoughtful, and surprisingly gentle, with a playful side to boot. While he thrives on attention, Spike does need to be the only dog in the home. Underneath his tough exterior is a sweet pooch who just wants to belong and be the best companion he can be. He loves belly rubs, treats, and running around the playpen chasing his favorite toys. Located at our Westhampton Adoption Center, you can meet Spike to see if you’re the right match. Remember, we are a same-day adoption center, so no application will hold him for you. We’re open Tuesday-Sunday from 11am-4pm. All animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations prior to adoption. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
