💔 Meet Spanky 💔
At around 8 years old, Spanky never expected to find herself in a shelter. After losing her beloved owner, her whole world was turned upside down, and shelter life has been a difficult adjustment for this sweet girl.
Spanky is a gentle, easy-going lap dog who finds comfort in being close to her person. If you’re sitting down, chances are she’d love nothing more than to curl up in your lap and soak up some love. ❤️
She is a very timid and sensitive girl who will need a patient, devoted owner willing to take things at her pace. Spanky can be flighty when she’s scared and is a serious escape risk. If she gets loose, she is very difficult to catch, so a secure, fenced yard is a must. She is not a fan of being picked up or going on leash walks and would be happiest in a calm home where she can safely enjoy a yard and settle into a predictable routine.
Spanky gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and while she could certainly thrive as an only dog, the presence of another calm, easy-going canine friend may help ease some of her anxiety.
Right now, Spanky struggles with the noise and activity of our kennel room. She’s currently staying in our manager’s office, where the quieter environment has helped her feel much more comfortable and secure.
What Spanky needs most is someone willing to mend her broken heart and show her that she’s safe, loved, and home again. 🏡
If you have a soft spot for senior dogs and the patience to let a shy soul blossom, Spanky may be the perfect companion for you.
Come meet Spanky today and help her start her next chapter. ❤️
