Spirit

Spirit is a sweet, gentle girl with just the right touch of sass. She loves her toys-especially chew toys-and is a moderate to strong chewer, so she'll do best with durable options that can keep up with her. One of her cutest habits is carrying around her stuffed teddy bear like a prized possession. It's hard not to smile watching her parade it around.She's a smart pup with solid training foundations. Spirit knows "come," "sit," "down," "kennel," and "bed," and she's very food motivated, which makes continued training fun and rewarding. She walks beautifully on leash and heels nicely, making her a great companion for daily strolls. She does get excited when she sees other dogs and would happily wag her way over to say hello.Spirit is still working on her potty training. She's improving with encouragement and does well using training pads. She keeps her kennel clean but doesn't consistently hold it in the house yet and may have accidents, even after walks, so she'll need continued structure and patience as she masters this skill.She gets along well with other dogs and has shown friendly body language, including lots of tail wags. She would absolutely love to chase squirrels and rabbits if given the chance, so a secure yard or attentive leash handling will be important. Spirit has been around older kids (youngest is 14) and does tend to jump up when excited, so a home with older children would be the best fit.With her loving personality, playful spirit, and eagerness to learn, Spirit is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and a little bit of sass to her forever family.Spirit was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.Meet and greets are by appointment only.

(you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
