My story

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

Hi I'm Spike! I am a really sweet boy looking for a place to call home! Come visit me this Saturday at the Dallas Farmers Market from 10AM-2PM! The address is 920 S Harwood St, Dallas, TX 75201

I'm super sweet and would love to meet you! The staff say I already know sit, learning to walk nice, love my harness, and I'm very treat motivated. Imagine the commands and tricks I could learn with my food motivation - I'd be the star of the show and you could show off my skills!

Foster Testimonial: "Spike is such a happy go lucky boy.He is friendly with people and dogs and he takes treats very gently. He is possibly house trained, as he goes potty outside right away. Spike does love snacks :) He really seemed to love getting attention, pets and scratches.. his fur is super soft and fluffy. His tongue seems to always hang out adorably. He will make a great companion and will love his forever human loyally!"

"He is VERY loving and easy-going-- he seeks attention and will give hugs and rest his head on your lap, giving you "puppy dog" eyes. Spike also slept in his crate at night and was quiet; he didn't chew up his bedding and kept his space clean. He's a GREAT dog and made quite a positive impact on all of us, including our dog."

Dogs: I am the best with other dogs! I am super playful though so I like when my pals can keep up!

Kids: I want to meet everyone so bring them in to the meet and greet. I have a lot of energy so older kiddos might be best.

Come meet me any day between 12p and 6p at 2400 Lone Star Dr. Dallas TX 75212!
