Update February 2007: My how time flies. Maia has grown up into a lovely young lady. Diane, her trainer has done wonders with Maia. Maia has learned many special skills such as opening doors, turning on the lights with light switches, bringing the phone and much more. Keep up the great work Diane!
Update April 2006: New partial sponsor for Maia! The wonderful people at FER-PAL Construction LTD. have come forward with a Paw-sitive Paw forward! to support the expenses of our puppy in training Maia. Thank you to
Mr. Paul Ferretti
and Mrs. Anna Ferretti. Also, our sincere thanks to Pina, a CWAC graduate who went out of her way to help find a sponsor for Maia.
Update October 2, 2005:
Maia came to CWAC at 10 weeks of age after receiving a kind donation of 5 puppies by the Legault family. She scored high on the temperament test showing great potential. She is doing very well with her training.
