My story

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

Hello! My name is Spruce. I'm a gentle soul with a heart of gold. I'm 4 years old. I have a whole lot of love to give. And everyone I meet comments on how handsome I am!

When I go to my buddy's home, I'm a perfect gentleman. I don't jump on people, I give gentle kisses, and I like to play with toys. I'm learning that things aren't as scary as they may seem, like getting into a car. At first, I just couldn't do it, but now I jump right in. In the car, I sit or lie quietly in the back seat and play with my toys, and I may even snooze if we've had a busy day. One of my favorite activities is going to get a pup cup from Starbucks after a long walk.

I am heartworm positive--treatment is handled by VHS once I find my forever home. I'm a happy pup ready for all sorts of adventures!
