I flew from Melbourne FL to Columbus OH and back Feb 27 to adopt Spike. He is a sweet little old guy who is House Trained. He lets me know when he has to go potty, holds his potty very well. The vet visit Mon 3/1 indicated that the only thing really wrong with him was some dental and he's 15 years old. The next day he got a nice bath and grooming. He is a spry(?) 15. He will hop up onto the couch, and the top of the back and stands his ground at breakfast, supper and treat time. He's 7 1/2 lbs and I suspect he'll put on another pound or two. He was definitely worth the trip. I'll be posting pictures of him and the other pups next day or so.

What a super person you are to have gone to get Spike!!! I admire you...if only there were more people like you in this world. Spike is one lucky little guy!!!!! Congratulations, Spike!

Bless you for doing that! I try to be understanding as you never really know someone's else story but this just seemed so cruel to me after 15 years to just drop him off at the shelter. Seems to me that you would have to be completely heartless to do that... I'm so glad he now has a good home with you!

You are positively the best! There are good people in this world, and on here! I hope someday that the person who dropped him off gets dropped off at the "Home" by their kids! There is no excuse for that.

OHMY GOSH Thank you so much for taking this baby in. I saw that this thread had been bumped to the top so I thought I would stop and read . Im so happy that I did before signing off. I am so happy to hear that this baby now has a loving home of his own. I am so glad I posted his ad here on YT.

What a wonderful person you are to have come to the rescue for little Spike. Your act of kindness brings tears and reminded me of one of my favorite quotations:
******************************

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter … the castoffs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal, and I was angry.

I said “God, this is terrible. Why don’t you do something?”

God was silent for a moment and then spoke softly. “I have done something,”

” I created you!”

OMG bless you and your kind heart.
Now Spike has the loving home he so deserves.


I hope those people turn out to be allergic to their new carpet
and sneeze, scratch and lose the money they spent to purchase it!

God Bless You . Spike is a lucky doggie

I'm a little slow, I guess! I didn't realize the Spike you had rescued was THIS Spike! How great!
