Meet Spike - a senior chihuahua mix with the soul of a grumpy old man and the heart of a secret marshmallow. Especially for his sister Abby!!

Spike would like to make a few things clear:
1. We are not picking him up.
2. We are definitely not picking him up.
3. Seriously. Don't.
4. Abby is going home with him
At first, he's a little grouchy, a little suspicious, and may look at you like you just interrupted his very important meeting (agenda: naps). But give him time to get to know you, move at his pace, and respect the "no sudden nonsense" policy, and you'll unlock his softer side.

Once you're in, Spike turns into a low-key sweetheart who actually enjoys pets and companionship - he just prefers to pretend it was his idea all along.

Grumpy? yes. dramatic? also yes. secretly sweet? absolutely.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PUP IS A TRIPPING HAZARD!!

Dogs: I have lived with another dog, but I must meet any potential new siblings!
Cats: Unknown
Kids: No Tiny Tots!! I
