Spike

Description

Successfully rehomed by Chesterfield Animal Centre

Spike was transfer to the RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Branch from the RSPCA Lincolnshire North East Branch. He is a very friendly, laid back dog who has an excellent temperament. Spike really enjoys going for a walk and will happily play with toys off the lead.

Spike is a well mannered dog and very steady in kennels, he is good with his basic commands especially recall, although he does get a dose of selective hearing when he smells something he really likes, what dog wouldn’t!

Spike is an extremely loving dog and just needs a second chance in life. He can be re-homed with other dogs and young children over the age of 5 years.
