SPALDING - BOYKIN SPANIEL / ENGLISH SPRINGER SPANIEL / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Boykin Spaniel / English Springer Spaniel / Mixed. SWEET, FUN & ACTIVE: Approx. 2 years old / Approx. 42 lbs. Hi, my name is Spalding! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and when I first arrived, my fur was matted and my skin was a little sore in places, so I had to get a little fresh shave as you can tell from my pictures. Don’t worry though — my coat is still beautiful and will continue to grow beautifully, and with regular brushing and care, I’ll stay looking and feeling my best! I’m currently in the prison/foster training program off-site and learning a lot! Please inquire at 770-272-6888 to find out when I'm available to meet. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met some other dogs at Mostly Mutts and seemed a little dominant, though not aggressive, I just tried to mount them a bit, and not all dogs will appreciate that, but it’s correctable, so if you have a dog at home already, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I met kids at Mostly Mutts that were around 10 years old and liked them. I was a tad jumpy, so kids 10 and older will be best. No toddlers or very young kids that I may bump over. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet and friendly guy with tons of happy energy to share! I get so excited when I see the volunteers coming my way and can hardly contain my joy. I love giving sweet kisses and soaking up attention, and while I can be jumpy and extra wiggly on the leash, I’m learning with time and training. Bath time? I started out a little unsure of the sprayer, but once I settled in, I was calmer, gentle, and even leaned in for some love while my bather talked to me. I do get a little too enthusiastic sometimes and may try to mount people, but I’ve been neutered and with guidance and training, that should improve. I’m curious, active, and full of good-natured fun — just waiting to share all that love with my forever family! / Energy Level: 5-7 with bursts of higher energy. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program where I have learned the ‘come’ and ‘drop it’ commands. I look forward to learning a lot more with my trainer! Check back soon to see what I've learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I’ve had accidents on the shelter schedule, so I may need to go out a little more often. Please keep me on a good schedule with rewards, so I can master my potty manners. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love chasing a ball around in the play yard, spending time with people, and staying active with fun playtime! I’m sure we’ll find lots of other fun things we’ll enjoy doing together, too! / I can’t think of any dislikes but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I’m receiving medicated baths for a little longer and these can be done in my new home. I’m a sweet and fun-loving dog looking for a wonderful family! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
