He is adorable and very playful – and yearning for a family that will give him more social interaction, exercise, training and snuggles. Spawn will be up-to-date on vaccines when rehomed. He gets along well with cats. Spawn will grow up to be a big buy. Do you have the time and love for this beautiful boy?
