About Spanky

Spanky is dreaming of being adopted by a special family. Meet Spanky! This lovely 9-year-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix has plenty of love to give. After a difficult change in her life, she’s eager to find a family that will provide the stability and affection she deserves. Spanky adjusts best in a calm environment due to her recent anxiety from being separated from her beloved owner who had to move into a nursing home. Here’s why Spanky is a gem: she’s sweet, loving, and enjoys a good cuddle. She is fantastic with kids, gets along with other dogs, and doesn’t mind cats at all. Spanky is house-trained and a pro in the bath. She also rides well in the car, though she prefers a harness for walks since she can pull a bit on a regular collar. What she needs most is patience and a loving atmosphere that allows her to feel secure again. After losing the life she knew, Spanky deserves a soft place to land and someone who will be dedicated to her happiness. Senior dogs like her have so much love to offer.
