Spud Has Arrived in Wisconsin and Is Looking for His Forever Home Spud arrived in Wisconsin on March 14, 2026 and is currently settling into his foster home with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. He is doing well and is now ready to find a loving forever family. Meet Spud Spud is a 5-month-old mixed breed puppy who is ready for a fresh start. He and his brother, Sprout, were originally found as strays and ended up in an Arkansas shelter before getting the chance to travel to Wisconsin for a better future. Despite his rough start, Spud is a happy, loving puppy who enjoys being around people. He has a playful, friendly personality and, like most puppies his age, he is curious about the world and always ready for fun and attention. Spud does well with other dogs and kids, and with proper introductions and time to adjust, he will likely do well with cats too. He and his brother are believed to be Lab/Shar Pei mixes, which gives them their extra squishy, wrinkly and adorable look. Since Spud is still a young pup, he will need help learning the basics such as crate training, potty training, and leash manners. He is at the perfect age to learn and grow with his new family, and with patience, consistency, and love, he will make a wonderful companion. Spud currently weighs about 35 lbs and is ready to begin the next chapter of his life with a family who will help him continue learning and growing.
