Meet Spud! Spud is an adorable Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier puppy who is guessed to be about 6-months-old. Our friends at Scituate Animal Shelter tell us this handsome guy has been thriving under the care of an amazing foster home and excellent trainer!

Spud came to SAS a nervous wreck. Clearly not socialized, he was unsure how to greet new people, dogs and cats. He has worked so hard (treats help!) and is already more confident in himself. Spud has stopped chasing the foster home’s cats and is now a gentleman who just ignores them and gives them their space, yay Spud!

Spud has worked so hard on his reactivity with other dogs. This was all due to his own insecurities. We think Spud could live with another, playful dog who is already confident and could show our pal that playing with other dogs is pretty great.

Given that he is working on his training, a home with teens or adults is preferred. We have total faith Spud will be fine in the future with children but we really want to set this young fella up for success.

Spud has done excellent with both housebreaking and crate training. He has an excellent routine with his foster dad and is a great sleeper at night. Spud loves toys and enjoys spending his time making sure every ounce of stuffing is removed. He is an excellent eater and sure does love treats — this makes him an excellent student.

This guy is going to be a fantastic companion to someone looking for the ultimate pal.
