Meet Athens! This sweet guy likes to take a little time getting to know you, but once you’re in his circle, prepare yourself, his cute personality comes bouncing out! When Spike feels comfortable, he gets the most ridiculously adorable bouncy zoomies and loves showing off his goofy side. Give him a little patience, and you’ll get to see just how much fun this sweet, silly boy can be!
