About Spike

Adoption Fee: $250
Lhasa Apso / Yorkie
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

Spike is a 10 year-old neutered male, 18 lbs. He loves squeeky toys and exploring the yard, but hasn't had a lot of exposure on a leash. He prefers men but gets along fine with women too. He is patient with other dogs, even when they show dominant behaviors toward him. He just tends to ignore them. Spike needs to be fed separately as he can have some dominant guarding behavior around food or treats. He needs an experienced owner that will be the dominant pack leader in the relationship. Spike likes to 'talk' to you, and bring you his toy to throw for him. He likes ear scratches and pets, but he's not really a cuddler. He's still adjusting to having left the only home he's ever known for the last 10 years, so he may warm up even more with time. He's got good energy for a dog his age and appears to be healthy with several good years ahead of him. He's pretty low maintenance, but will need to go to a groomer for haircuts since he doesn't shed. If you're willing to give Spike the time he needs to adjust and can show him that he has boundaries with a firm but positive approach, you may be a good fit for him! He's being fostered in Aurora. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application.
