Spike - German Shepherd Dog and Mountain Cur Dog for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Howdy Doody! My name is Spike, and I am from a litter of 3 very handsome German Shepherd/Mountain Cur mix puppies, now about 5 months old, born on or about 3/30/26, and we were left behind at a "kill" shelter in Port Lavaca, Texas. Thankfully, we were amongst a group of 28 dogs and puppies saved from euthanasia when 4 Little Paws Rescue took us all! My group was placed in a foster home in Von Ormy, Texas, so we could get neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption. We have all our veterinary records and are ready to leave Texas behind!

I am the little guy in the pack, weighing in at 27 lbs, and I am just an adorable, happy, sweet baby with a mostly brindled coat and eye-catching touches of white. I have a wonderful personality with playful energy, no shyness, and I make friends easily with everyone- young and old, other dogs, good with cats, and I'm great with kids! Especially a 9-year-old boy who comes to play with us! My foster mom reports that we all have similar personalities... smart, eager to learn, eager to please, and very food-motivated, enjoying anything and everything you offer, including broccoli! I'm sweet and affectionate, love pets and snuggles, and I'm not too proud to share kisses. I am working on housebreaking and doing great, copying the older dogs and using a doggy door when it's open, a potty pad when it's closed, and I still need some practice with walking on a leash. If you are looking for a wonderful family puppy who will have tons of fun playing with the kids, then look no further! Inquire about me today.
