A little about Spot:
Sweet boy Spot is looking for a soft place to land! Whether it’s through adoption or fostering, Spot just needs YOU.
Spot is a gentle, people-loving boy with a heart that’s been through more than most. He’s already overcome so much and now he’s searching for a fresh start. Spot loves people of all ages, has lived around dogs big and small, and is an ideal walking companion with superb leash manners. He’s super treat-motivated which is helping him on his last core skill of not jumping up in excitement. Spot is just so enthused to meet anyone that he can find it difficult to contain his excitement!
After learning his background, it’s understandable why Spot is so eager to be near his people at all times. In his previous home Spot was kept in a kennel far too often, and this left emotional and physical scars. During his neuter, he had to undergo a major dental procedure to repair teeth damaged from chronic stress chewing on his old kennel bars. When he’s with staff and volunteers he’s the happiest boy, but when it’s time to go back into his kennel Spot struggles with severe anxiety. He’s receiving temporary medication to cope, but medication isn’t something Spot requires long-term once in a home.
Spot’s SO ready to leave the life of separation behind and experience comfort, calm, and companionship. He needs someone who can offer love, patience, and consistency. Whether you’re open to adopting him or can offer a foster home, you’d be giving Spot the chance to heal and thrive in a kennel-free environment. This boy has so much to give. He’s not broken – he’s just waiting for someone to believe in him.
