What WeRescue Scout knows about Spike (courtesy post)

Spike needs an active family that loves outdoor adventures—walking, hiking, and running—and can match his high energy and social personality. He'll thrive with patient owners ready to manage his food guarding during the housetraining phase and who prefer a multi-dog household or can commit to dogs his own size and play style.

Good to know
  • Not safe with cats.
  • Guards food; resource guarding management required.
  • Not housetrained; requires active training commitment.
  • High energy requires significant daily exercise and mental stimulation.
