When Spartacus arrived at HHS he was severely emaciated, weighing only 20 lbs, frightened, and covered in fleas and dirt. With time, medical care made possible with Giving Tuesday donations, and lots of help from the shelter’s volunteers and staff, Spartacus has made a remarkable recovery. He has blossomed into a sweet, active, and playful boy and has gained over 20 lbs! He’s currently in a loving foster home while he awaits her fur-ever home. There he’s been living with cats and is doing really well, though sometimes he is a bit playful (he is 11 months old after all). He has also enjoyed the company of other dogs while in the foster home. The foster has also been working on crate training him.
