About Spike

Spike and Sami were rescued as newborns when they were discovered in an abandoned house. The puppies had been left without their mother, and it was only when a passerby heard them crying that they were noticed. Unfortunately some of their siblings weren’t so lucky and sadly didn’t make it, but Spike and Sami were fighters. Now, around a year old, the boys are so ready to find their forever homes.

Now around one year old, Spike is a playful, human focused boy with a gentle and affectionate nature. He absolutely loves being in the company of people, and is happiest when the volunteers come at the weekend to take the dogs out for walks, play and socialise with them. He has a habit of nudging you with his paws or leaning in for a hug, just to be close, and he bonds quickly and thrives on affection. Spike would be wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and interactive dog.

Spike walks nicely on the lead and enjoys being out and about. He’s a moderately active dog who would love a home where he can enjoy regular walks, playtime and time outdoors. He is also intelligent and curious, and while he hasn’t had much structured training yet due to the constraints of a shelter environment, he shows real potential to learn quickly once given the chance. He would suit someone who enjoys engaging with their dog and can offer some training and enrichment to keep his clever brain ticking over.

Spike is currently living in a shared space with around fifteen other dogs and gets on well with them all. He would happily live with a friendly resident dog but could also thrive as the only dog in the home, provided he receives enough company and stimulation from his adopters.

We feel that Spike would be best suited to live with children aged 7+ who are used to dogs. While he is very friendly, he can be bouncy at times and may be a bit much for very young children. He also doesn’t have as much experience with younger kids as he does with school aged children.

Spike would suit a countryside or semi-rural home, ideally with access to a garden and green spaces nearby. He has a lovely temperament and is looking for a home where he can continue to grow in confidence and be an active part of family life. For adopters looking for a loving, eager to please and playful dog, Spike could be a perfect match!
