“Spanky- H” was surrendered by his owner to their local shelter (where there is little hope of getting out). While cooling his heels, SH proved to be a stellar dog: sweet, playful, attentive, eager to please.
SH is listed as a retriever-Shepard mix. He weighs about 60 lbs and has a very thick coat and is a big “shedder”…not a hypoallergenic type at all! Be prepared to spend time with grooming utensils.
We doubt SH has had formal obedience training but with some minor corrections, he walks ok on lead. He definitely would benefit from obedience training to hone some basic skills. He sleeps in a crate at night. He is good with other dogs, we do not know about cats, and he is phenomenal with people! He is a Velcro dog… One who really wants to be by his person’s side as much/as close as possible. He loves his peeps!
