Spruce is in NJ waiting for an adopter.
Meet Spruce — our shy little sapling learning to trust again.
When Spruce first arrived, the world felt big and scary. Sudden movements made him freeze, and he wasn’t sure what gentle hands were for. He’s slowly learning that soft voices mean kindness and that love can be patient.
Spruce still feels safest in his crate, but every day he shows tiny signs of bravery—just last week, he ventured out for the first time, exploring for a moment before returning to his cozy spot. He’s a mellow soul who’s simply looking for a calm, quiet home where he can heal at his own pace.
He’d do best with:
– A peaceful home (no young kids)
– Patient humans who’ll let him come around in his own time
– A yard or small potty area while he learns leash life
– Other gentle pets are perfectly fine
Spruce may start out timid, but with love and time, we know he’ll blossom into the loyal companion he’s meant to be.
If you have a calm heart and a quiet home, you might just be the safe place Spruce has been wishing for.
Spruce will be up to date on vaccines. His adoption donation is $450.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.
