My Story: Calusa was named for the Native American tribe that once inhabited the Keys. With many siblings (Pax, Pandora, Cayo, Gypsi, Flagler, and Windley) she knows how to make herself stand out in a crowd! She is extremely bright and loves to challenge her trainers. She enjoys spending time with her friends – when they let her be the leader! She loves to study human behavior; feel free to participate in her research!
Nicknames: Calusabean, Goose
