Spade is one of our longest residents and has been waiting for a home for over 85 days 💔
It's hard to see any dog spend so long in rescue, but it's especially heartbreaking when that dog is a senior.
Spade is a 10-year-old, 38-pound Husky who spent nearly his entire life being loved by one person. Sadly, when his longtime owner developed a chronic illness and could no longer care for him, Spade's whole world changed.
Despite all the changes he's experienced, Spade remains sweet, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. He loves giving kisses, relaxing on the couch, and spending time with his people. He still has enough playful energy that it's hard to believe he's 10!
Spade is kennel-trained and making progress with potty training. He generally does well with other dogs, though he prefers mature companions over puppies or rowdy playmates.
He also has some classic Husky curiosity! Spade can climb fences and may slip through an open gate, so he'll need a home that can keep him safe and secure.
After spending so many years in a loving home, Spade deserves that comfort and stability again. He's had so much change in his life recently, and we're hoping someone will give this sweet senior the chance to settle in, feel safe, and enjoy the rest of his golden years surrounded by love.
