Alaqua Pet of the Week

Esprit is the French word for spirit, and it seems the perfect name for this cute canine. A two year old collie/golden retriever mix, Esprit has come through some difficult doggie times without losing her sweet disposition or her enthusiasm for life. Sadly neglected by her owners and left to fend for herself, she relied on food scraps given to her by kindly neighbors. When she arrived at Alaqua Animal Refuge it took a little while for her to accept the amazing fact that there is actually food made especially for dogs, and that it is much better to eat than table scraps. This discovery continues to make her happier and healthier every day. Esprit has big brown eyes complimented by a coat that is a fashionable combination of gold and cream. She has an open heart and an extremely loving nature, but her most endearing feature by far is her irresistible smile. It dazzles even the darkest day into something bright and beautiful. Esprit would like nothing better than to light up the life of that very special someone who will give her a loving forever home. You could be that special someone, but if you want to meet her you?d better hurry and head out to Alaqua Animal Refuge. With her gentle heart and beguiling smile it?s unlikely she will be there for very long.
