Spike was rescued by Animal Control, from an abusive owner. This wonderful guy had a collar embedded in his neck that was surgically removed. Animal Control officers were so touched by this guy personality, they called and ask Sherri if she would foster to and try to find a forever home for him.

Spike was very loving and playful, he played well with his foster sisters and brother Goliath and Mystic. Mystic a small German shepherd puppy, was almost mistaken as a earring or tail ring since she was all ways attached to spike.

It was time for Spike to have his very own family to love, Sally and her family were excited to meet Spike. Spike had won the hearts of SVRC Inc. where he met his new family.

Spike earned his new name, Bandit, when he snuck a piece of pizza from a table. He learned about love, snuggled in bed with Jennifer. He felt the warmth of a home, playing with toys of his very own. He had what is every dog's dream, a family of his very own to love, play with and care for him. Never to go without attention, food, or water again.

He still had to work his charm on the feline members of the family Seale, Gimpy and Pounce, we are sure if given time they would of been great friends.

But an accident, cut Bandit life short, when he got out accidentally and was killed by a passing car. But we can take comfort of knowing, that in the last few weeks of his life, he felt love, comfort and a true family.

He will be greatly missed by his forever family Steve, Sally, Jennifer, and Travis and also his foster family.

He was is our life for such a short time, But left his paw prints in our hearts forever!!! And until we are reunited again, he will be remembered.
