Spud bio

Hello all!  My name is Spud and I have two Fall 2011 Resolutions.  Yes, I know that Resolutions are typically associated with New Year's but, heck, I've got goals here!  So here they are: 1) Find a Forever Family who will enjoy a lifetime of loving, snuggling and loyalty. 2) Get back my figure.  

I am an 11-year young black lab/corgi mix who has had a rough go-at-it lately.  I ended up as a stray in Denver and was very appreciative when a good samaritan welcomed me into her home while she searched for my family.  When no one claimed me, she brought me to MaxFund where I'm getting medical treatment for some arthritis, as well as regular activity while I search for my Forever Family!

I'm quite the amazing dog and I love all friendly dogs and cats that I've encountered.  I'm a super-star cuddler who has been described as easy-going and relaxed.  I'm housetrained and am quite the gentleman in the house.  With regards to children, I enjoy their company but I need them to understand the meaning of the term "gentle hands" - so older children would probably be best.

Like so many of us who go through tough times, I haven't prioritized my well-being.  That's a fancy way to say that I've lost my figure...ya know, gained weight (I currently weigh about 65 lbs).  BUT, Fall 2011 is *my* time to meet my Forever Family and walk/exercise off all this excess weight!  Lucky for you, several studies (by the National Institutes of Health, nonetheless!) show that dog owners who regularly walk their dogs are more physically active, more mobile inside their homes, less likely to be obese, and experience less stress, anxiety and loneliness!  Research also shows that walking your dog helps contribute to positive, enjoyable social interactions!  Woah baby!  Looks like we'll both benefit by regular exercise!  

So, are you looking for a cuddly, well-trained, friendly, easy-going canine companion who has big aspirations for Fall 2011?  Well, HERE I AM!  I hope we can get to know each other on a walk outside the shelter.  It's been a long-road to find the perfect Forever Family - but I know you're out there just waiting for me...and I know you're worth my wait!  I promise to do everything in my power to keep YOU contented and happy.
