Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Spindle, the heart-stealing tripod with a gorgeous brindle coat! This resilient boy doesn't let anything slow him down, not even missing a leg! Spindle is a treat enthusiast who has mastered the basics- "sit," "come," and "down"-all for a tasty reward. His love for squeaky toys knows no bounds; he's always up for playtime, showing that his spirit is as indomitable as ever. Crate-trained and ready for a comfy night in his own space, Spindle does face challenges with stairs, making him the perfect companion for a stair-free home. He can be discerning with his dog friends, so we would want to have a canine meet-and-greet before adoption. Spindle also isn't the biggest fan of cats, so we wouldn't recommend taking him home if you have a feline companion. But if you're looking for unconditional love and a loyal friend who's all about joy in the simple pleasures, Spindle is your guy.

Additional adoption info
We invite you to visit the shelter locations and meet the animals and the adoption team!
Our adoption process is aimed at matching you, your family and your current pets with our animals for adoption. An adoption counselor will introduce you to our animals in a private meeting room. We will share information about the animal's medical and behavioral needs as well as their history.
When you find the right pet for you and your family, the adoption counselor will assist you in completing the proper paperwork. This process includes signing an adoption contract, reviewing medical history and providing proper pet care information.
What you will need in order to adopt:
A valid photo ID with your current address.
We recommend all members of the household meeting the animal before adopting.
If you are interested in adopting a dog and have other dog(s) living in your household, it is recommended that all dogs meet each other at the shelter.
Certain animals require additional steps or requirements.
Adoption fee is accepted in cash or credit/debit card. Checks, American Express, Discover, Care Credit are not accepted as payment.
PLEASE NOTE: We are not able to place a hold or accept a deposit for animals that are not available for adoption, that you have not done a formal meet and greet with, or over the phone. Adoptions are approved for the first qualified home. Adoption is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh.
