Hi everyone, I am a dashingly handsome Miniature Pinscher/Dachshund mix with low-rider legs and my name is Spike. I am 2 years old, weigh 21 lbs and I was found in San Antonio Texas tied to a pole. I was scared and confused, but fortunately, I was microchipped. Unfortunately, it was my owner who had left me there and no longer wanted me. I guess I should be grateful they didn't push me out of a car while traveling down the highway like many other abandoned dogs around here, but nonetheless, it was a blow to my ego. I’m sweet and easy and no trouble at all, so here I am… looking for a new forever family.
I am a friendly boy, a bit shy at first but I warm up quickly and get along with everyone young and old, dogs and cats. I enjoy playtime with my doggy friends but in short spurts of 15-20 minutes and then I like to relax, chew on a bone, or sunbathe outside on a pretty day. I am not into doggy toys, but I’m into doggy treats and love them all, LOL. I have a calm demeanor, I rarely bark, and I’m well-behaved and housebroken. I learned how to use a doggy door after just 2 days in my foster home by watching the other dogs go outside, so I guess you could say I’m smart! I’m snuggly and affectionate, but not the kissy type, so I won't be slobbering all over you. I walk well with a harness and leash and I don't mind a ride in the car. I hear many wonderful families on the East Coast would be happy to have a sweet dog like me, so I can't wait to meet them and get my new life started! Inquire about me today and bring me home!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
