MEET SPIKE! 🖤
Spike is one of those dogs who is a bit of a hot mess inside the shelter and we say that with love. 😅 Shelter life is hard on him. He struggles with anxiety, gets overwhelmed easily, and just isn’t able to show his best self in this environment.
Spike came to ARC as a stray after being found running for at least a week with two other dogs. Because of that, we really don’t know what his life looked like before he came through our doors. He’s estimated to be around 2 years old, and whatever his past may have been, we know he deserves someone willing to give him the chance to succeed.
Spike was adopted once before but unfortunately returned due to separation anxiety. His ideal adopter would be someone who understands separation anxiety or is willing to learn and can provide him with the patience, consistency, structure, and training he needs. He isn’t a dog who is going to walk into a home and immediately have everything figured out. He’s going to need someone willing to work with him. ❤️🩹
🐱 Spike cannot be placed in a home with cats.
There is a good dog underneath all that shelter anxiety. Spike just needs the right person to look beyond the behaviors caused by stress and see his potential. He needs someone who won’t expect perfection, but who will give him the time and guidance to learn that he’s safe and that his home is truly his home.
If you think you could be the patient, understanding person Spike has been waiting for, please fill out a pre-approval form on our website under the Adoptable Dogs tab.
