Spike has had a rough start in life but has finally gotten a clean bill of health! He is approximately 9 months old. due to his illness' he was potty pad trained and has since been going outside to learn how to potty, but still needs work on this. He knows sit, down, off, place and sometimes "no bite" as he likes to mouth everything but it' not him being mean, it's just a plaything with him. He is working on his jumping (because he loves every poop human and dog/cat he meets!)He is also crate trained as long as you cover his crate (which is something he could overcome) He wants to play with other dogs but as a sick puppy was not allowed. He has since met another dog and was fabulous with him. He would benefit with another dog sibling that would tolerate him (he loves other dogs and is very submissive to them) He just wants to love on another dog and play. He's a very active boy who would flourish with more training and social skills. He is fully vetted; all shots, neutered, heartworm tested and on Heartworm/fleana tic prevention (Simparica Trio). He wants to play with other dogs, but the dogs in the current home are not dog friendly. He likes to run up to the cats but doesn't harm them, wants to play, and has been pretty good with learn leave it or no be a good boy. We would suggest older children as he likes to jump and mouth, and his vertical jump is about 5 feet! Spike is filled with lots of energy and would benefit from an active owner or family. Spike does have occasional "flare ups" due to some type of autoimmune deficiency that his vet has not been able to diagnose (even with specialty discussion ) but a short course of doxycycline and steroids keeps it in check. If you think you can give Spike the time, patience, training, and love with a home he can flourish in,that he desperately, needs, please feel free to fill out an application and we will put you in contact. He is also available for foster.
