This week’s @tailsdekalb Pet of the Week is Spike! At 11½ years young, he’s a distinguished senior with a big heart and an even bigger love for life’s simple joys—walks, belly rubs, comfy beds, and of course… TREATS. 🐾
Spike is easy-going, leash trained, house trained, and already knows sit, shake, down, and even a spin or two! He’s been working hard on his fitness journey and enjoys getting out for strolls and staying active at his own pace.
All Spike wants is a calm, loving home where he can be a loyal companion and enjoy his golden years surrounded by kindness, routine, and plenty of belly scratches. 💛
