Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Spike is a handsome maltipoo mix. He can be a little shy at first, it takes him a minute to trust someone and warm up. But once he does, you have best friend for life! He is a very happy cuddly dog. Spike has the most fun natural blonde Mohawk that just adds to his charm! DOB 5/8/24 and around 25 lbs. Spike prefers a home without cats and, honestly, would do best as the only furry companion. He can be a bit of an attention hog and doesn’t like to share his favorite human! He would also do best in a home with no kids or kids over 12, who will respect his personal space while he adjusts to a new environment. He does have a lot of energy, so he also has his paws crossed for a backyard with a privacy fence! Find our application on our website https://www.tailsoftheforgottenpaws.org/

Story
Introducing Mr. Sparky who is 6 yrs young, and a Maltese mix who weighs 8 lbs. Mr. sparky had a big day Saturday. He went to his first event and was curious and social. Had a visit with Santa ( he wants a forever home for Xmas) and then had a sleepover. This guy hasn`t known the good life but is ready to start. He does a little dance at dinner time and is sweet and social. He proved he is both dog friendly at the event and in my home. He slept through the night in his crate without a peep. He has been very quiet and hasn`t barked so far. Mr Sparky has the sweetest temperament. You can also watch for stories, pictures and videos about me on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/JrsPupsNStuffInc or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jrspupsnstuff/Ask to meet me today!!Adoption fee: $600All dogs/puppies have been fully vetted including spay/neuter, micro-chipping, worming, heartworm testing and preventative treatment, flea/tick preventative, and all required age appropriate vaccinations.
