SR4P COMPETITION AGILITY TEAM

Who We Are

Char & Ellie

Ellie joined our zoo crew in July 2020. She was absolutely adorable and full of boundless energy. She needed an outlet for that so we decided to give agility a try. We had our first class in April 2021. We have been hooked ever since. We have been working hard, having fun, & learning alot along the way. Our bond is stronger than ever. I am in awe of Ellie & what she can do. She has come so far & continues to impress me. We just recently went to our first agility competition & are getting ready for the next. We have met some pretty amazing people along the way & are so glad we get to share our agility journey with them.

Janet & Jack

Jasper aka Jack was adopted at 8 weeks by Janet and her family after he and his siblings, along with his mom were rescued from a Texas high kill shelter and landed in Spokane.
At an early age Jasper preferred to go over things instead around them. And at 6 months started climbing trees. Janet thought “he needs an outlet for all his energy “ And decided to enroll him in agility classes August of 2021
They haven’t looked back since.
It has taught both of them patience, trust and how to be a team. And most importantly how to have fun together.

Chris & Lucy
OAP, OJP

Lucy and Chris started their agility journey in fall of 2021. As a rescue dog who had been rehomed many times, Lucy was very shy and lacked confidence in most situations. Through her agility training she has come out of her shell and gained tons of confidence. She has gone from barking out of fear to singing happy hound songs at the end of courses! Lucy started competing Summer 2022 and looks forward to racking up qualifying runs!

Michelle & Pearl

Pearl Barnes is an August of 2022 birthday! She became a client of SR4P January of 2023 by attending Star Puppy class and to put it simply…we were hooked. Pearl enrolled in intro to agility for something “fun” to do and it has been all that and more. In the spring of 2024 we joined the competition agility class to prepare for our first competition in June. Pearl isn’t exactly built for speed, but what she lacks in natural talent she makes up with enthusiasm!!!!!

Tina & Quincy

In the Spring of 2023, Tina and 9 month-old Quincy began learning Agility together — both were completely new to this fun sport. Their training began simply as an enrichment activity to build his confidence and help him learn to use those long teenage legs of his. But these classes soon became their favorite day of the week. This practice has created an even stronger bond between the two of them and they competed in their first trial in September 2024. Recently, Tina and Quincy had the privilege to compete in the Agility trial at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of the U.S. National Specialty. So much Agility fun ahead for Team Quincy!

Carmen & Ruby

Carmen and Ruby started doing agility in the fall of 2022 just as a way to burn off some of that "Aussie" puppy energy and to work together as a team. We did classes off and on for a while, but realized that it was something we both enjoyed so we got more serious. Not only did agility use some energy, but we both had to use our brains as well! It has been a rewarding journey so far. Ruby amazed me by qualifying in a Standard agility run at her very first trial and has had a qualifying run at every trial she has attended since then-she is a quick learned and a good listener! Ruby is a natural and Cassie at Snake River Four Paws is an amazing instructor. We are looking forward to many trials in the future and hoping to get little brother, Max, to some trials in 2025 as well.
