Spike - Dachshund and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Roanoke, Virginia

Spike is a very sweet, very special boy who came to us as part of the recent Texas Travel Trailer Rescue, and we’ve loved getting to know his spunky personality.

Spike was born with an angular limb deformity that gives him his one-of-a-kind look and, in our opinion, only adds to his charm. He’s a happy, lovable guy who is ready to find a family to love him just as much as we do.

Spike will need to go to a quiet home with a single adult, or an adult couple only, no children.

Stop by and meet Spike today!

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
