Spot has been at the shelter for just over five months after he was returned by a previous adopter. Staff descriptions say he’s a shy pet who quickly warms up to new people if given some patience. 

Notations also say he’s working on his leash walking skills and is getting better every day. Staff also recommend that Spot be the only pet in the household.
