Spud

** IN FOSTER CARE IN ST PETERS**

Spud (aka Spuddy, Spuddington or the Potato) is the closest thing to a living teddy bear we've seen. This boy loves nothing more than human attention. After a morning stroll and sniff in the park, he likes to spend his days snoozing next to his humans or following them around the house, especially to the kitchen.

MY IDEAL HOME: Spud would suit most households. He gets along with other calm dogs, and could potentially get along with a confident cat. He arrived at Maggie's overweight and needing a lot of dental work, which makes us think he hadn't had a lot of attention before coming to us. This is why he is now on the lookout for a home where he can get a lot of affection, sufficient exercise to maintain his weight, and plenty of belly rubs (which he has recently discovered are the best).

MY ENERGY LEVEL: Spud enjoys his daily walks in Sydney park, where his unique look has gained him a lot of admirers. Despite his age, he likes a decent walk and sniff (20-30 min per day), which is also importwnt for maintaining his weight. Being a pug, he prefers his outings at the cooler hours of the day, after which he is happy to just chill at home.

MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Spud would prefer a home with dog savvy children, where he can get a lot of attention, but would also have some space to relax.

MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: In his foster home he lives with a 9 year old female Boxer cross without issue. He is generally good with other relaxed dogs. In the park, he has shown a little reactivity towards some male dogs, which could be due to him being desexed later in his life. However, he is extremely smart and food motivated, which makes us think this is something he can work on. He has briefly met cats and has shown no interest in them, which means he may do well with a confident kitty sibling.
