Drumroll please.....introducing....SPARTAN!
Several dictionaries define the word Spartan as “a person of great courage and self-discipline”, or “someone possessing courage and resolve”. This fits our newest member of the CVSDU puppy program perfectly! Spartan is currently settling in nicely with one of the CVSDU trainers, where she will live as she learns the ropes of hopefully one day becoming a service dog for a veteran or first responder living with the effects of PTSD.
Our Spartan was named after, and in thanks, to the generosity of the people at Spartan Delta Corporation, in Calgary, AB. Last November, CVSDU president Sgt. (retd.) Dwayne Sawyer attended Spartan Delta Corp. in Calgary, AB to receive a generous $15000 donation.
Continued support from both corporate and private donors are what makes groups like the CVSDU possible. We look forward to seeing what Spartan the puppy will become!
