Meet Spence, a sweet soul who arrived at a local shelter as a stray with the hope that his forever family was still out there and he is ready to believe it is you. Spence is a 5-year-old Beagle mix with a social, affectionate, and playful personality that shines the moment you meet him. His short, beautiful tricolor coat and bright, inquisitive eyes make him undeniably handsome, but it is his loving nature that truly steals hearts.
At just 18 pounds, Spence may be considered a small dog, but he is the perfect size for just about everything. He is big enough to enjoy outdoor adventures, neighborhood strolls, and playful moments in the yard, yet perfectly sized for curling up beside you at the end of the day. With a medium energy level, Spence fits right in whether your home is active and, on the go or more laidback and relaxed.
Spence is friendly and outgoing, happily socializing with adults, children, and other dogs, although his history with cats is unknown. Like many dogs, he is still polishing his house and crate training skills, but he has already made great progress and walks nicely on a leash. With a little patience, guidance, and consistency, Spence will continue to blossom into the wonderful companion he is meant to be.
After a fun-filled day, his favorite place to be is close to his people. Whether Spence is snuggled on the couch, stretched out on his dog bed, or simply resting nearby, his happiness comes from feeling safe and loved. Spence is ready to give his whole heart to a family who will show him what home truly mean and in return, he promises endless affection, joyful tail wags, and a lifetime of loyal companionship.
* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.
The adoption fee for Spence is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
