About Spike

Spike is an incredibly affectionate and sweet boy who recently enjoyed a Doggie Day Out. He started off a bit excited during the car ride, but after a short walk, he settled down nicely. This adventurous pup loves exploring the outdoors, especially sniffing around the grass. He’s easy to walk on a leash and responds well to redirection. During his outing, he happily allowed strangers to give him some pets. Spike already knows commands like 'sit' and 'wait,' and since he’s very treat-motivated, training him is a breeze. He is also potty trained and will signal when it's time to go outside, showing he's respectful of the home. His adoption fee has been generously covered, making him an even more attractive companion.
