Speckle's Story

Speckle has been available for adoption longer than any other dog at the shelter. <br/>So what's wrong with Speckle? Surely he must have some defect that makes him hard to love? Some behavioral deficiency that scares people away? <br/>Nope. There is not one single thing wrong with Speckle. Speckle is actually one of our most well rounded dogs at the shelter right now. He loves people. He is friendly with other dogs. He walks well on a leash. He has been able to attend daycare and received great reports. He was able to attend an adoption event and interacted with strangers and children wonderfully. <br/>Speckle is still just a pup and is only around a year old. He is still playful and silly and despite spending most of his puppyhood in the shelter, he is well behaved and affectionate. This dog has the potential to be a once in a lifetime dog. Imagine how great he could be with someone who was willing to teach him all the things good dogs need to know! <br/>During the snow storm, Speckle was able to spend the weekend in a home for the first time since coming to the shelter. His foster gave him a really wonderful write up. <br/>"Spending time with Speckle during this snow storm has been such a joy. He is sweet, confident, and full of happy curiosity, always ready to try new things. He has a loving, playful personality and truly wants to please, often checking in and looking to his people for reassurance and guidance.<br/>Speckle is great on leash and walks nicely without pulling, which makes our outings easy and enjoyable. He has also made huge improvements in potty training and now stands by the door when he needs to go out — he’s a smart boy who is clearly learning quickly.<br/>With his gentle and playful nature, Speckle would be a wonderful fit for a home with kids and a family looking for a dog who is both affectionate and fun. He settles in easily and makes himself part of your routine in the best way."<br/>For more info and photos, click here! If you want to know even more about Speckle, please send us a message!
