Meet Spirit! This happy, affectionate girl is full of love and joy. Her favorite things include snuggling on a soft bed or curling up right in your lap for a nap after a good play session. Spirit may be a puppy with a disability, but she has no idea! She is paralyzed in her back end due to a stable spinal fracture that cannot be surgically repaired. She cannot use her back legs and has no control over stool or urine, but her elimination is reflexive and does not require intervention as long as amounts remain normal. Despite this, Spirit doesn't let her condition slow her down one bit-she's just as playful and silly as any other pup. She's very social and loves meeting new people, especially kids. Spirit gets along well with other dogs and is curious about cats-though her playful energy and eagerness to chase may be a bit much for some feline friends.
Ideal Home
Spirit loves to play, enjoys sunny days outdoors, and thinks wagon rides are the best way to go on walks. She's even dipped her paws into swimming at the lake! Her playful energy and eagerness to chase may be a bit much for some feline friends.
Ongoing Health
Spirit is paralyzed in her back end due to a stable spinal fracture that cannot be surgically repaired. She cannot use her back legs and has no control over stool or urine, but her elimination is reflexive and does not require intervention as long as amounts remain normal.

Training & Support
True to puppy form, she does like to explore the world with her mouth, so she'll need continued guidance as she grows. Spirit settles nicely in her crate at night and sleeps soundly when things are quiet.
