About Spirit

Spirit is a handsome, fun-loving boy with a heart as big as his name. He grew up with an elderly couple and has developed into an affectionate, loyal companion who’s clearly felt some kindness in his early life. Crate trained and friendly with cats, Spirit brings a mellow vibe to the house but still has that adventurous spark—he even has some urban mushing experience under his belt. He feels at home in a calm environment and wants nothing more than to spend time with his people, whether that means a walk out in nature or just hanging out around the house. Spirit can get a little protective of his favorite toys, especially his plush animals, so he’d do best in a home without young kids. With adults and older teens, though, he’s pure sweetness and easy to connect with. If you’re hoping for a companion who balances chill and charm, Spirit fits the bill.
