My story

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

Name: Spanky
Breed: Cocker Spaniel Mix
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Date of Birth: Approximately March 2020

🐾 About Me:
Hello, I'm Spanky, a charming Cocker Spaniel mix with a heart of gold. I may have had a rocky start, but I'm on a journey of self-improvement and becoming the best version of myself.

🌟 Personality:
I'm a sweet and gentle soul, but I can get easily overwhelmed by high-stimulation environments. I'm working hard on my rehabilitation to find my inner calm and build confidence.

🐾 Health and Safety:
Rest assured, I'm microchipped and up-to-date on all my vaccinations to ensure I stay healthy and safe.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Home Requirements:
I do best in a home without children, cats, or dogs larger than me, as these can be a bit too much for me to handle. I need a calm and patient environment where I can continue my progress.

🐶 Favorite Activities:
I absolutely love a game of fetch, and I'm a water enthusiast! When the warmer months roll around, you'll find me splashing around in my beloved swimming pool.

🏡 Adoption Status:
I'm not quite ready for adoption just yet, as I'm still on my journey to becoming the best companion I can be. But keep an eye on me, because I'm working hard to be the perfect addition to a loving and understanding family.

Stay tuned for updates on my progress, and thank you for considering me as a potential member of your family! 🐾❤️
