Spirit von Stanau is an enchanting little 8 week old Shepherd/Malamute mix puppy. This black and tan beauty is a fabulous combination of two very special breeds, and Spirit epitomizes the best of both!  She’s a smart, playful, healthy, and engaging puppy who especially loves being in the arms of her family.  Her foster mommy calls Spirit her ‘cuddle puddle’ because it’s as if she melts into her mommy’s arms for a good snuggle after a fun day of play.  Spirit enjoys a robust game of tug-of-war and a good-natured ‘wrestling match’ with her littermate, River, and also has the confidence to engage with the much larger fur siblings in her foster home. -- she’s quite the social butterfly, following the family’s ‘pack’ on any adventure in the yard! She is crate-trained and well on her way to being house broken, thanks to the tenacity and skill of her very experienced foster mommy.  Spirit is getting lots of love and socialization in her foster home while she waits for her forever family….will it be with YOU?
