My story

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

Spike was our neighbors dog, that lived next to the property my kids live at.

He lived on a 15 foot chain attached to his dog house. The neighbors fed him but never played with him.

They asked my kids to watch him for a few days and never returned and then finally called and said they were not coming back to get him.

We put him on a 75 foot dog run and bought him toys since the yard is not fenced. It took a him about a week to figure it all out but it has been a joy to see him come alive and learn to play.

However we cannot keep him and are trying to find him a good loving home. My kids are expecting their first child soon and just not in a situation to keep him.

He is a loving dog but still learning the basics of playing, coming to his name, and learning commands.

He got his shots, a Micro chip and neutered on 10Dec2024.

Spike is a good dog and really needs a good home.
