Story
Get ready for sweet kisses and cute puppy paws with Spruce Lee Penelope – the wiggliest waggiest wigglebum of them all.
Estimated to be around 3 months old, currently weighing 17 pounds, and possibly a Labrador / Shepherd mix, Spruce Lee Penelope is a rescue, so breed and age are simply our best guess. What we are certain of is that this handsome ‘lil guy is ready for a home with a lot of love and affection!
Check out Spruce Lee’s puppy prance, wiggle, and kisses on YouTube here:
Spruce Lee is currently in a loving foster home, and he’s loving every minute of family life. This wiggly pup is the perfect combination of playful puppy energy and sweet-natured affection. His gentle soul shines through in every puppy pounce and prance, and the way he uses his paws to ask for attention is sure to put smiles on all faces.
It’s hard to know if you’ll be more dazzled by Spruce Lee’s adorable spots or his wagging tail that just won’t quit. Of course, his freckled belly is sure to make you giggle, if only because this ‘lil guy offers it up for frequent belly rubs.
We do insist that Spruce Lee have a ridiculous assortment of soft stuffies for chewing and playing at all times, and he will reward you by encouraging you to join in on the fun with tug-of-war, tossing, and maybe sometimes kinda-sorta-fetching. (We predict he will become very good at this with training.) Be prepared to spend equal time snuggling as you do playing with this fun-loving fellow, though - when the playtime is all done, Spruce Lee will be the first in line for cuddles.
This entertaining pup is inquisitive and adventurous as most puppies are, but Spruce Lee has also started to respond to voice corrections – this bodes well for the family that will put the effort into puppy training! Spruce Lee is still learning about the world around him and will benefit from continued guidance, training, and positive reinforcement as he grows. The lucky family who adopts him will get to enjoy all the special moments that come with raising a puppy while helping him grow into the amazing best friend we know he will be.
Spruce Lee has a temperament and attitude that makes him a great fit for many types of homes. He enjoys being around people and thrives on affection, and he will offer plenty of puppy kisses, tail wags, and unconditional love in return. Whether he's greeting you at the door, following you from room to room, or resting at your feet after a busy day, Spruce Lee simply wants to be part of a family.
His foster describes him as a happy and affectionate puppy, and is looking forward to seeing him blossom in the perfect forever home – one where he can continue to learn, play, and share his loving heart. If you're searching for a loyal best friend with a gentle playful spirit and a tail that wags with pure happiness, Spruce Lee is ready to steal your heart—and maybe a few toys, too!
