Meet Spike! 💙🐾 This little guy has already overcome a big start to life, and now he's ready for his next adventure! Spike was only 6 weeks old when he came into our care after being found at a beach, he was very skinny and looking a bit worse for wear! Since then in a short amount of time he's come such a long way and is now thriving in foster care, ready to find a family of his very own! ❤️ Spike is a high-energy little lad with a big love for people. He's playful, full of puppy enthusiasm and always happy to be part of the action. He's currently enjoying life in foster care with children, other dogs and another puppy friend, so he's getting some lovely experience with family life. Expected to grow into a medium-to-large sized boy, Spike will need a home ready for all the fun (and mischief!) that comes with raising a puppy. Puppy preschool, positive reward-based training, socialisation and plenty of enrichment will all be important as he grows. He's had a big start to life, but his best chapter is still waiting to begin. Could it be with you? 🏡💙
