Spirit/Sky update

Just a quick update on Spirit who now answers to Sky! He has been trimmed and looking rather macho after his puppy hood in a pet shop and quarantine. He’s now used to wet grass (big problem) and living a normal dog’s life! With a balance of discipline and affection he is doing very well although still has a few issues to be addressed. He is a very kind dog and enjoying making new friends especially his new best friend Ted!

He is the most expensive dog we have had to rehabilitate at a cost of over £2500 ongoing so if anyone can give a donation large or small that would be much appreciated!

More updates on Sky
He has had to go to dog school as he didn’t have any social skills due to his life starting out in a pet shop and then into quarantine kennels. He was nearly one before he came home to us. He has now passed out of school with flying colours and has turned into a lovely dog and with correct handling will stay that way!
