Spice came to us as a very shy and feral puppy, alongside her siblings. Over time, she has made remarkable progress, and while she's still a bit reserved, she’s starting to trust us and will take treats from our staff. Her on-leash walking has shown steady improvement, though she will thrive with a family who is patient and willing to continue building her confidence.
Spice’s journey to feeling fully at home will take time, and she may need a little extra encouragement to show affection. However, we’re confident she has the potential to develop a deep bond with the right family. She could greatly benefit from having another dog in the home to help her learn how to navigate the world with more confidence and support.
Due to her flight risk, Spice will need extra safety measures at home, such as baby gates, double leashing, and a GPS collar, to ensure she stays safe as she adjusts. With the right environment and people, Spice will continue to blossom into a loving and loyal companion.
