To quote the Grateful Dead, it’s been a “long, strange trip” for Spanky!
This little guy first came to the shelter as part of a hoarding case several years ago. He was adopted, but found himself back at the shelter when his family was no longer able to care for him. Spanky was well-loved but sheltered and somewhat indulged; for example, he was given hot dogs and leftovers, never dog food, and he was not used to being on a leash.
Spanky has come a long way in a short time; he’s wearing a leash, eating dog food (wet food, at least!), and is starting to build a circle of friends at the shelter.
Spanky’s nine years old and would do best in a quiet home with no children and a patient adopter who will give him the time he needs to settle in. He’s wary of new people, but once he’s comfortable with you, he’s quite charming.
Spanky’s hoping his search for a new home will end very soon. If you’re looking for a loving companion, look no further – Spanky’s waiting for you at the CNYSPCA.
REQUIREMENTS: In order to adopt, you must fill out an application, pay an adoption fee, and have your pets up to date on their rabies vaccines. All adopted cats and dogs are spayed or neutered before they go home.
