Spade is a spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a sleek black coat with striking white accents. At around 55 pounds, Spade is a medium-sized charmer who has mastered the art of being both a playful goofball and an affectionate constant companion. He approaches life with his whole heart, whether he is soaking up sunshine in the yard, roughhousing with enthusiasm, or snuggling beneath a blanket. One of his most endearing quirks is his nightly blanket routine; he loves wiggling and burrowing until he creates the perfect cozy nest for sleep. He is also a huge fan of rump scratches and responds with an adorable full-body dance when you find just the right spot! Crinkle toys and interactive toys keep him entertained, and he enjoys car rides, swimming adventures, and plenty of outdoor enrichment in a fully fenced yard. Spade knows sit and paw, is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He does well when left alone for reasonable periods and follows a simple routine of twice-daily meals, exercise, and relaxation. Spade is incredibly affectionate with people and has no history of biting. In the right home, Spade's loving, goofy, and devoted personality truly shines!
