Spirit - Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Bountiful, Utah

Meet Spirit
Hi there... my name is Spirit, but if you ask nicely, you can call me Pretty Girl or Lady Dog. I'm a sweet 12-13 year old lady with a gentle soul.

These days, my favorite hobby is napping - I've truly perfected the art. A cozy bed, a soft blanket, and the peaceful presence of my people? That's my idea of a perfect afternoon. Every now and then I'll surprise you by taking interest in an occasional cat toy... just to keep things interesting.

Because I have some arthritis in my shoulders and hips, I prefer short, slow walks. I like to take my time and enjoy the little things. I also have limited sight and hearing, and I don't have any teeth left.

I can be a little unsure about shadows and windy days - they're mysterious and a bit spooky to a lady with my limited vision. But with reassurance and a calm environment, I feel safe and content.

My very best friends are my foster mom and dad. They give me delicious wet food and lots of love, which I think is a very fair trade for my devotion and sweet company.

I'm good with cats and other dogs, and while it's not known how I feel about kids, I'm such a calm and gentle girl that a quiet home would suit me best.
If you're looking for a low-key, loving companion who will happily snooze by your side and warm your heart every single day, I might just be your girl.
Love,
Spirit
