About Spike

Adoption Fee: $325
Chihuahua mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Meet Spike! Spike is 3 years old, and weighs 13.8 pounds. He is a Chihuahua mix who came in with a bunch of other dogs from an eviction situation. Spike is a sweet friendly boy who seems to like everyone he meets. With his person he is a gentle little lover who wants to be with you all the time. He loves one on one attention and soaks up all the affection he can get. He comes when you call him and loves to sit on your lap and snuggle. When he feels a soft touch on his face, he closes his eyes to fully enjoy it. There were a couple of larger dogs in the home who probably singled him out because of his quiet nature, and picked on him. As a result he has several scars on his face. Even so, he does like other dogs, and gets along with them just fine, but we think he would also be happy as an only dog getting lots of love and attention. When they all come running for a treat...he is in the back row, patiently waiting his turn for special loving. Spike prefers to sleep in a big soft chair in the bedroom at night. The only time he will really come up on the bed is if there is a storm, which he is very afraid of. We found out he was kept outside a lot and we imagine his fear stems from being out during storms. Spike does go outside to go potty and seems to be mostly housebroken if taken out regularly. He walks on a leash, but based on some behaviors his foster mom has observed, we think he needs a home with a fenced yard. He rides well in a car and gets along great with older kids. He has not been cat tested. Spike has been to the vet for a wellness check, is up to date on shots, has had a 12 month ProHeart heartworm shot, and is microchipped with a lifetime registration. He is heartworm positive and has started treatment which is covered by the rescue. He is a super sweet friendly guy who would love a home to call his own! If you are interested in adopting him please submit an adoption application for review!
