CITY DOGS & CITY KITTIES RESCUE
A LIFELINE FOR HOMELESS ANIMALS

Over 12,000 lives transformed in 9 years, all thanks to our dedicated community.

SPOTLIGHT ON CURRENT PET:

Spike

If you are looking for a dog who can effortlessly switch between dog park companion/running partner and lazy, snuggly couch potato, we’ve got the dog for you. Spike is a one-and-a-half year old terrier mix who loves other dogs. He also loves humans, even kids. Cats? Not so much!

Spike has been waiting a long time to be adopted– in that time, he’s been brushing up on his training and his vocabulary. He now knows commands for “sit” “no” “crate” and “come.” We think his favorite command is come–this dog is affectionate beyond your wildest dreams!
