My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Spencer came to us as a skinny dirty and thin stray. He is around 2ish years of age. Spencer has a head tilt that was checked by the vet. His ears were checked to see if it could be a result of infection in the ears his ears were clean. The vet suspects prior trauma that resulted in the tilt.
Spencer is a sweet boy that likes to be out in the play yards. He has done well with the other dogs he has met but as with any adoption where there is a resident dog a Meet and Greet is required.
Spencer does have some anxiety and not knowing what trauma our sweet boy went through before coming to us his ideal home will have someone that is around alot and will give him the time and support to settle and be comfortable!!
Spencer is several months out from COMPLETING his Heartworm Treatment and is enjoying more activities like long easy walks.

Spencer is neutered, microchipped, Heartworm tested (POSITIVE) and is current on all vaccines including rabies. He has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention.

More about this shelter

The Orange County Animal Shelter is responsible for providing humane care to unwanted, lost or abandoned animals
The Orange County Animal Shelter provides safe haven and vet care for hundreds of animals of all ages and descriptions each year.
Happily, we have had great success promoting our animals on Petfinder, Petsmart adoption events and now with the help of Adopt-A-Pet. Dozens of animals have been adopted by people who have come from many other states. Would you like to join them? If so, please let us know! The greater our reach the more homes we will find for the animals in our care.
Although we are about 1.5 hours away from the Washington, D.C. metro area, it is an easy drive. You can even make a day of it and stop off at country stores, Civil War battlefield sites and a huge mall complex in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg. And after all, what is a few hours in drive time when you will be meeting your new best friend? If you need help getting here, call us for directions
