Hometown: Mayer/Paulden Arizona
Age: 3
Favorite brand of kibble: Diamond Naturals Lamb and Rice
Favorite people food: Starbucks Puppacinos
Favorite toy: The cats I live with have a small bird toy, and even though I have been told it belongs to them, I really like it and will carry it around with me at times.
Favorite outdoor activity: I love going for runs. I go for a run with my mom every morning. I also really like to spend a lot of time at the horse barn with my family. There are a lot of good smells up there.
Favorite indoor activity: I love curling up for a nap.
Favorite nap spot: The ottoman in our living room.
Fitness regimen: I go running every morning with my mom and sometimes we go for walks, too. I actually live at boarding school and the students there love me. Sometimes they come and take me for walks. Recently I got to compete in a suirvivor weekend with them.
Describe your perfect canine pal: I like dogs that are pretty quiet. Bailey is my brother and he’s older so he doesn’t do much, but he does take me swimming in the pond sometimes.
Describe your perfect day: I am actually a rescue dog. A very nice lady found me in Kenyata, Arizona. My back leg was very badly injured from being caught in a bear trap. I couldn’t walk, and it was very, very painful. The lady found Yavapai Humane Trappers, who took me into their program and got me the care I needed. Unfortunately, my leg could not be saved as it was too damaged and I had to have it removed. Prescott Animal Hospital and Yavapai Humane Trappers helped me and found me a wonderful foster mother who took me in and cared for me through my recovery.
My family found me through Yavapai Humane Trappers. My human, Peyton, was a senior at The Orme School, where my mom works and my human brother Colton goes to school. Peyton and I had a great summer. He took me in his Mustang to Starbucks a lot to get puppacinos. We also went running, and he let me sleep in his bed with him. He went to college this fall, but I can’t wait for him to come home. I send him lots of photos. In the meantime, Colton, my Mom, me, and Bailey spend lots and lots of time enjoying ranch life at The Orme School, and me not having that leg NEVER slows me down!
