YUKON FETA: 16 weeks #adoptable Feta was packed and waiting in Whitehorse, Yukon, when we got to the @humanesocietyyukon a couple weeks ago. She was unknowingly about to move her search for the perfect family to Alberta and would be catching a lift down there with us. Like many budget transports, her transport to Alberta wasn’t direct. There were stopovers all over southern Yukon and northern BC on the way. She took a quiet day to ponder her new circumstances without abundant interaction or tomfoolery. The only thing she did eagerly was eat. After one day of road trip routine, Feta was ready to partake in the available excursions and workshops. She learned “sit” and “paw” and tried to play with the monster on board her transport. Being able to sit or shake a paw when requested in exchange for a snack made Feta’s eyes light up - a visible indicator of the realization that there’s a predictable and repeatable aspect to all the nonsense - a way to control things in her environment. Feta came along for a steep hike to an old mine where she didn’t seem as interested as me. She supervised all of Anna’s lake and river plunges from the water’s edge. At each mealtime, she worked on dining etiquette and is getting better at not attacking the food delivery person with enthusiasm that sends all the food flying. She never complained on rough roads, she was occupied napping. She saw bears and squirrels and geese and eagles. She got used to life on the road and seemed happy about all of it. Happy to get up. Happy to eat. Happy to drive for hours and hours. Happy to get out and see each new place. Happy for rest at bedtime. Happy happy happy. Feta’a transport with stopovers totaled over 3000km. She is now napping it off in her foster home on the chair on top of Anna’s cave of attempted solitude. Feta is not a ridiculous rambunctious puppy. When she’s excited (every reunion) her body wiggles and she comes for hugs; she isn’t bitey or brave. Feta will be working on potty training, socializing, and general fun things that puppies like to do while she waits for the perfect family to find her. Feta is available for adoption soon from @fosteringhopeanimalrescue
