In the shelter’s words

Meet Spooky! Have you been looking for a ball-obsessed cuddle bug? A little dude who prefers to wake up on his own terms? A Chi mix who will win you over with his insistent charm? Then Spooky is your guy! ❤️ Spooky ended up in a shelter in Louisiana after his owner passed away. Luckily, he hitched a ride north and now has a second chance with Underdog Rescue! He’s ready to find a forever family of his own. Spooky is: OBSESSED with balls — finding the missing ball is basically his superpower! ❤️ A wonderful cuddler A fan of walks Crate trained About 95% potty trained Pretty indifferent to most dogs Respectfully curious about the cat in his foster home Spooky can happily coexist with other dogs, but he’d also be perfectly content being your one and only . And if you’re willing to play fetch, hide-the-ball, or even try some ball sports with him, you may have just found your new best friend! Spooky is still working on his focus, obedience, and training, so he’ll need a family willing to continue helping him learn. If you’re looking for a quirky, cuddly, ball-loving little guy with a whole lot of personality, Spooky might be your perfect match! ❤️ Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
