Spike, a crossbreed who is around five years old, was rescued from a public shelter in Romania and brought to the UK last December by Pawprints to Rescue. But three months after arriving at the charity's kennels in Cheshire, he is still patiently waiting for adopters to pick him.A spokesperson for Pawprints to Rescue said Spike "constantly gets overlooked even though he's super sweet".

Get Educated. The first step to being an outstanding pet owner, according to Dr. Becker, is taking responsibility. “Nobody ever says ‘I was a lousy pet owner.’ It’s always the pet’s fault.” Learn the peculiarities of your pet’s breed such as how much exercise they need, how gregarious they are, how much maintenance their coat requires, how often they need to go outside, and about new technologies, products, and nutrition that might help you care for your pet. Knowing the basics about your pet’s upkeep ensures you won’t be caught off guard by troubling behavior.

Spike enjoys walks, treats and getting attention from staff at the kennels.

The charity is looking for an adult-only home, although he could live with another dog.

The spokesperson said: "Spike is lead tested and walks lovely on the lead.

"He enjoys his walks and being outside of his kennel.

"Spike likes to make himself heard when he sees another dog on his walks, but does soon calm down and settle enough to continue on his walk.

"Spike has been fine with everyone at the kennels and enjoys a quick fuss when it is his time for attention.
