is a ~6 month old bird dog mix. He has been at our shelter for almost a month now and is getting antsy to be adopted. He has adorable webbed feet like a lab, but also has a big spot on his mostly white body like a spaniel might. He's a very playful puppy who enjoys being pet. Spot made his local debut on Channel 50 in Sparta on April 20th. He ADORED his bath - this boy loves water! - and did very well in the car both to and from the Cyber Campus. He was also a prince of perfect behavior during the shoot. Spot is just a beautiful, spunky little guy who will make someone a wonderful pet!
