Meet Alpha, an 8-year-old male Spitz looking for a fresh start after his previous owner passed away. His current caregiver has only had him a few weeks and is unable to keep him due to housing issues. About Alpha Breed: Spitz Age: 8 years Color: Yellow/Tan Gender: Male (not neutered) Vaccines: Up to date History: Came from a relative who recently passed; appears to have been previously neglected and may need additional medical care and grooming due to foxtails and minor wounds. Living Situation: Has been kept primarily outdoors. Not potty-trained or crate-trained. Behavior & Temperament Around Visitors: Friendly, excited, and barks. Around Children: Unknown—has not been around kids. Around Dogs: Has lived with dogs before. Handling: Was anxious at the vet and snapped when being muzzled. Bite did not break skin and he calmed down immediately after. Resource Guarding: Allows people to take food and toys. ❗ Important Notes Alpha is anxious in stressful situations and will need an adopter who can go slow with handling and give him structure, patience, and training. He likely needs a veterinary follow-up for skin foxtails and general care. Reason for Rehoming Current caregiver is unable to keep him due to housing restrictions.
