Spirit--An Update

Some of you may remember Spirit when she lived at the Centre.  She started out as a an extrememly high energy girl who wanted to play more than anything.  We loved the play behaviour, but also wanted her to learn to learn some polite behaiours like walking on a loose leash, not jumping up on every person she met, and playing well with other dogs.  Our volunteer staff worked with her for dozens if not hundreds of hours and she learned to be polite without losing her wonderful sense of playfulness.

Here is the email we received fromher new person.

Hi,
Sorry these have taken so long. i'm terrible at getting around to sending photos...

Spirit (a.k.a. Numa) is doing really well and is very loved! She learns fast so has been quite easy to train. We've taken her on a few small hikes and is currently learning how to accompany us on bike rides. She's mellowed out quite a bit from when I first brought her home.

One of the photos is her with her new friend Rush! She's improved tremendously socializing with other dogs.

We're both very happy with our new pup!
