Spike (Hospice Foster)
Labrador Retriever (short coat) · Senior (14 years 10 months) · Large · Williamsburg, IA
Notes from Safe Haven of Iowa County
Spike is a senior gentleman, around 15 years young. This sweet fella moves at a relaxed, easy pace. Spike adores every person he meets, and his gentle nature makes him an absolute joy to be around! His favorite activities include cozying up for a nice long nap and enjoying the quiet companionship of his people. Spike is simply enjoying a loving home and a soft bed; spending his remaining days surrounded by comfort and kindness.
Despite his age and slow pace, Spike still loves to venture outside for his daily strolls—he takes his time to sniff and enjoy the fresh air. These short outings, followed by a well-deserved nap, are the highlights of his day. Spike doesn't ask for much; just a consistent, loving environment where he can feel secure and cherished. He has been spending his most recent days in a loving foster home. He has learned the routine of his foster home well and has enjoyed getting to know the other resident dogs, cats, and children. He truly fits right in! Spike has been receiving daily medication for his arthritis.
At this time, Spike is not available for adoption as he is being lovingly cared for in a hospice foster home. We are grateful that he can spend his days surrounded by comfort, compassion, and the care he deserves.
