***Spartan is not a CDR dog, this is a courtesy posting for his current guardian. All decisions regarding his adoption will be made by his current guardian.***

Hello, my name is Spartan, and I am a 3 year-old male American Bulldog mix looking for a loving home. I am a big boy, about 80 pounds, but still love to sit on your lap! I like to give lots of kisses, but don't worry, I am not a drooler! You can pet me all day if you would like and there would be no complaints from me; I will give you a little nudge with my nose when you stop petting me, just to be sure you really wanted to stop (but I won't drive you crazy about it either!). You might not be able to tell from my selfies, but, I have one blue eye and one brown eye (and can see perfectly out of both).

I am friendly, playful, loving, and intelligent. I am house-broken, so no worries about any accidents in the house (as a matter of fact, I know I should only go potty outside in my special 'rocks' area; I also ring a bell on the door to remind you when I need to go out because I know human lives can get pretty busy and you might forget). Ever since I was rescued from a shelter when I was about 5 months old, I have loved learning new things; I am well-trained and will do just about anything for a treat, i.e. sit, stay, come, down, leave-it. I LOVE to play fetch in my fenced-in yard (would do this all day if I could - I will keep bringing the ball back to you until you decide it's time to stop). Swimming is also one of my favorite past times (or even better yet, playing fetch in the water!) as well as walks or even jogging on a leash. I also love riding in the car - so much so that, on occasion, when I manage to sneak through an open fence gate, you can always get me back quickly by opening the car door.

After spending a little time outside getting some exercise, I am content to just relax on my comfy bed, or to cuddle with you; sometimes, when I am super tired, I may even snore a tad (but I am told this is endearing!). I like to head upstairs to my bed pretty early, even if everyone else is still awake (around 8 pm), and enjoy getting my solid 12 hours of sleep at night; then, every morning, I stretch out my whole body from head to toe before I start my day!

Although my doggie brother and I are best buds 95% of the time, I sometimes have a hard time getting along with him. We are working with a trainer, but my family is starting to worry for his safety because I am definitely the alpha; I know they are super sad to see me go, but, I also know that I would prefer a house without the competition of other pets or children. I will be so happy being your one and only. I can't wait to find someone who will love and care for me, just as much as I will them!

If you are interested in adopting Spartan, please fill out an online adoption application and CDR will forward the application to my current guardian.

Because of the high rate of accidents between dogs and young children, we rarely adopt out our dogs or puppies into homes with young children.  If you think your particular situation might warrant an exception, please feel free to inquire with us.
