Jordan - Update


Do you remember Jordan? He was about 8 months old and terrified of people and not yet "adoptable" material when we (Chris and April) adopted him from you in 2007. He was with his brother Atlas who went to another home.

He is now 3 yrs old and doing extremely well. Attached is a photo of him (the blonde one) and his brother when we were in town for the day.

He now lives on 100 acres outside Nelson BC where he loves to spend his days hiking up the mountain with us or just hanging out in the yard guarding our chickens. He is very confident now, he will guard the property from strangers but as long as invited guests ignore him for the first few minutes he is happy to approach them for pets on his own terms. he has even made friends with a few humans that he enjoys greeting when they visit and is still becoming more social every passing day.

He has matured into a wonderful companion who never needs a leash, always heels when told and always recalls, will not chase wildlife (or the cat) and gets along great with all animals and is content to laze around the yard until he sees me getting my boots on for a hike. He loves performing as well with sit, lay down, stand up, roll over, shake paws, etc. And he loves to visit the local dog day care that April works at and plays endlessly with client's dogs that we board at our home.

I just wanted to update you and say thanks for all your work, You have wonderful staff and facilities and should be happy to know you helped find Jordan a home that we like to think is ideal. We are now looking for the perfect sister for him.

Take care.

Chris & April
