Spanner, or Sir Spanner Fandango, as his foster mum likes to call him!

This boy is just sheer joy on four legs!

His main goal in life is to please you and get as many cuddles as possible. This fella is so easy to fall in love with. He's incredibly friendly with dogs and humans alike, and if given the choice between food or a cuddle, he'll choose the cuddle every time. And trust us, cuddling Spanner is addictive!

Spanner is also a smart boy. He quickly worked out how to hit the latch on the gate just right so he could let himself into the main foster pen to investigate what Aki was eating! He also learned to sit and give his paw in just a couple of days.

He responds really well to direction and gentle correction, and genuinely seems to enjoy making his humans happy.

Spanner absolutely loves attention and can sometimes get a little jealous when other dogs are getting cuddles. He'll gently nudge them out of the way in an attempt to have his favourite humans all to himself! He's not aggressive about it and responds well when reminded to share the love.

At mealtimes, Spanner is happy-go-lucky, happily eating from whichever bowl is available, with no signs of food guarding.

He enjoys playing with toys and will happily entertain himself. Blankets, on the other hand, are apparently made to be shredded and spat out!

Although medium in height, Spanner is quite long in the body and has a surprisingly good reach, so a secure garden with high fencing or walls will be important.

He's a playful, energetic young boy who loves running around and having fun. A home where he can enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime and interesting walks would suit him beautifully.

He's very sociable and enjoys meeting other dogs, so opportunities to socialise would be great for him.

Spanner could happily live with another dog, provided his adopters are comfortable setting boundaries when he gets a little pushy over attention. That said, his foster mum suspects he'd be absolutely delighted to have his humans all to himself!

He's also met the resident cat, Captain Purrcard, and although curious, showed no interest in causing him harm.

At around a year old, Spanner is fully grown and ready to find a family of his own.

To sum him up, Sir Spanner Fandango is a friendly, clever, cuddly, lovable loon, with a huge personality and an even bigger capacity for affection.

And we really can't emphasise enough just how lovable he is!
