Meet Spirit – A Gentle Little Soul Looking for Her Person Spirit is a 14-pound Jack Russell/Poodle mix standing about 15 inches at the shoulder, with the sweetest heart just waiting to fully bloom in the right home. Spirit can be a bit nervous and wary at first. She doesn’t do well with loud or harsh voices, and she needs a patient, gentle person who will give her the time and space to feel safe. But once you earn her trust? She transforms into a happy, tail-wagging little shadow who will follow you from room to room, politely asking for belly rubs and nose kisses. She loves her walks and especially enjoys sniffing adventures. Spirit does well on a leash and rides nicely in the car in her car seat, making her a wonderful little travel buddy. At home, she coexists nicely with cats. If they dash through the house, she may happily join the fun! Her favorite nap spot is curled up in the cats’ donut beds, as cozy as can be. She is crate trained and settles well in her own safe space. Spirit is very food motivated, which makes training easier, but she should not be free fed — she’ll happily sample the cat’s food if given the opportunity! Though she lived with other dogs and has been socialized, she may growl if they invade her personal space until she feels comfortable. Slow, respectful introductions are key. Spirit would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands shy dogs and will celebrate the beautiful bond that comes from earning her trust. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, companionship, and the sweetest little tail wags you’ve ever seen.
