INCA: From the Streets to a Warm Home

Inca, a Peruvian Hairless, has a lineage dating back thousands of years, but his personal history remains a mystery.

Inca joined our family one year ago, but his first year of life is unknown. While roaming the streets this malnourished, unsocialized and frightened "street urchin" was rescued from certain death and taken to the Humane Society Soffer and Fine Adoption Center in North Miami Beach and named DEXTER. 

During our many visits to the Adoption Center, my wife, daughter, and I saw Dexter, and it was love at first sight.

After his required stay at the Center, we adopted him . . . renamed him Inca . . . and he became a member of our family, joining Prada, a Neo Mastiff and our first Soffer adoptee, Riley, a Wheaten Terrier mix, and Bianca, an Umbrella Cockatoo.

From the beginning it was evident that INCA required both training in Basic Commands and Socialization.

Rose Lesniak came to our rescue. Two  6-Week courses were scheduled and Private courses were planned.

Training INCA has been a challenge, although he completed his Basic Training Course with relative ease. it has been his Socialization Course that has been quite demanding.

Now, as we begin our 5th week of Socialization Training, we have noticed a positive change taking place in his overall behavior.

Walking Inca with Prada and Riley, has become less stressful for all of us. INCA approaches strangers with ease, and Inca now has begun to socialize with several neighborhood dogs.

Inca's training remains a work in progress, but we see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks to Rose, our own "Dog Whisperer, " Inca has become a member of our family. Inca's joy is evident for he knows that he has found a home for life.
