Story
Spike is 7.5 years old. He is such a sweet dog and loves to cuddle with his loved ones. He is playful and likes to go on walks, but spends most of the day sleeping (I work a 9am-5pm and walk him before I leave for work and when I get home). He is potty trained, easy to walk on a leash, and doesn’t ever bark on the street or in public. He’s also friendly with other dogs and always wants to say hi. I am hoping to rehome Spike because I am a first-time dog owner and Spike has resource aggression tendencies that would do best with someone who has had a dog before. Spike was starved at a young age and therefore whenever he feels like his food is at risk of being taken away, he can growl and become aggressive and even try to bite if the person does not back away once he growls. I live with roommates in our 20s and because of Spike’s tendencies, I would like him to find a quiet home with adults who are looking for a companion. He is truly the best and any home would be lucky to have him!

Lewis is a little bigger than his friends Lois and Clark. He is cautious of big dogs. He plays very well with small dogs. He loves to play and walks well on a leash.

He can be a bit excitable on walks but will improve with more experience. • Housetraining: Housebroken indoors (pee pads) and outdoors, but will need some adjustment in a new home. • Baths/Brushing: Not a fan of grooming but tolerates baths and brushing. • Car Rides: Generally good but could use more experience. • Separation Anxiety: None! He stays calm when left in a kennel. • Barking/Howling: Occasionally barks when playing or if started by sudden movements of strangers. • Likes & Dislikes: Loves getting pets, affection, and running around! Donnie is ready to find his forever home—could it be with you? 😊🐾
