In November, 2021, Nootka took the next step in her journey and entered Advanced Training where sheโll learn the skills needed to support her future partner.
In February, 2022, Nootka decided that the pet life was for her. She was released from Advanced Training and moved into a new career as one of our special VIP dogs.
It truly takes a village to raise a puppy, and you can be part of Nootka’s village and receive monthly updates about her โ donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support Nootka today.
