Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Spike came into our rescue only a couple of days ago from East Haven CT Animal Control. He was an owner surrender to the pound. When they took him to the vet he needed dental work badly, so they had that done as well as having his neuter surgery, and he is now recovering from it.
Once he does, and has his neuter surgery, he will be ready and waiting to be adopted - and we'd love to have a home all set for him by then.
Spike is the cutest pup! He's a Maltese mix, about 7 years old. He is just fine with other dogs, and we believe he will be fine with children and cats as well - but we will be doing more evaluation of him in the coming days.
Right now, in spite of some discomfort from the surgery, he is just the sweetest boy - and we are in love with him already!
