In May, a kind citizen found a dog wandering around their neighborhood. Unsure of what to do, they brought the dog to us for assistance. We were able to welcome the pup, now named Morgan, into our care, hoping to find him a loving family. However, we quickly realized that the shelter environment was negatively impacting Morgan’s behavior. He started to become reactive to new people, was difficult to put back in his kennel, and became territorial of certain spaces. Despite these behaviors, we knew Morgan had potential to become an incredible pup and deserved a second chance.
Thanks to a generous grant from the PEDIGREE Foundation, we were able to send Morgan to Modified K9—a four week long canine boarding school. Through consistent training sessions with Blake, Modified K9’s trainer, Morgan has already shown significant progress and is on his way to becoming a brand-new pup. He’s making strides daily on his reactivity and adjusting to being around new people and dogs.
We know that Morgan will continue to improve during his time at Modified K9, learning and growing into an incredible pup. Since the kennel environment is stressful for Morgan, our goal is to find him a home while he’s still at boarding school. If you’re interested in giving Morgan a loving home, please email gracec@spokanehumanesociety.org to schedule a meet and greet. We want him to find the best home that will continue his training and help him become the incredible pup we know he could be.
Our ability to care for animals like Morgan and invest in their training and skills is thanks to the PEDIGREE Foundation and people like you who contribute for our K9 Boarding School Fund. If you would like to make a difference in the lives of animals like Morgan, make a donation on our website.
