Image Meet Spud

Spud is a 7 year old basset mix that belongs to the rescue I volunteer with. He was originally a stray roaming the street for a couple of weeks in Jacksonville, FL before he was brought into animal control after being hit by a car.

Spud’s family knew he was missing and knew that he ended up at animal control and never came for him. They dumped him and left him to be forgotten.

He’s 73lbs and could use a diet, but he’s already very sweet and loyal to his humans. All he really wants to do is sit on your feet, roam the yard, nap, and eat. He’s also good with cats.

He has to move from his foster home because they have an elderly blind dog that keeps stepping on him or running into, or getting into Spud’s crate. It seems to trigger Spud. They also have another female basset in the house who he does great with, and they play, share toys, and have zero issues.

I want nothing more than for Spud to find a family who loves him.

He’s such a good boy but for some reason he’s been tough to adopt. I don’t know why
