About Spirit

Meet Spirit, a delightful little Boo Crew cutie! Weighing in at just 7 pounds, she's a sweet but shy girl who has plenty of potential to blossom in the right environment. Spirit is part of an accidental litter whose mama was spayed after arriving at the shelter. Her lineage includes a Beagle/Chihuahua mix mom and a Yorkie/Cheweenie mix dad. At first, Spirit may be a bit timid, so a patient family is key to helping her acclimate. New surroundings and routines can be overwhelming for her, so she’ll thrive with a gentle approach. Right now, she's making great strides with potty training and loves indulging in toys and bones. Once she's had her fill of play, you'll often find her snuggled up on a lap or a cozy blanket. She's friendly with other dogs and kids once she warms up. With time, kindness, and encouragement, Spirit will surely discover just how wonderful life can be! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
