Are you looking for the bestest happy-go-lucky boy to be your furever companion? Look no further because Spike may just be the perfect boy for you! Spike is always eager to please and has quickly picked up a few basic cues since settling into his foster home. When the weather is nice (and not 100 degrees), Spike loves playing with his canine foster siblings, though he is equally content to hang out indoors with the AC blasting. He is fine with other animals as well - he meet a cat, bird and lizard and couldn’t have cared less. He is crate trained, knows “sit,” is learning to walk on leash, and very food-motivated. This mature, medium-energy boy is likely the goofiest and silliest boy we have seen in a while - his zest for life is so contagious that it is impossible not to have a good time when Spike is around! If you want to chill on the couch and binge the latest TV show, Spike is happy to lay by your feet and keep you company. If you are in the mood to chat or vent about life, Spike is the most pawsome listener - he is there to lend a sympathetic ear, especially if you are willing to give him some ear scratches. Seriously, no activity is too dull for Spike, as long as his favorite people are with him. This fun-loving, goofy boy will do well in a household where he is included as an essential part of the family, and that could be with or without other dogs. He’d be fine as an only dog, as he definitely finds his comfort and happiness with his humans! If you have Pyr experience and want to take your pup out to places to meet new people, we are pawsitive Spike will be your best adventure buddy for years to come!

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
We may consider fostering for some of our dogs who are in boarding. Please visit Fostering FAQfor an application and information about our fostering program.
