Dogs For Good Update

We are a puppy partner for Dogs For Good, and our sponsored puppy Zuri is now 11 months old!

We’ve received an update on her progress from Judy, her socialiser. Judy writes “Zuri is maturing into a very lovable and well behaved dog. She has a beautiful glossy coat that people always comment on. Like all young pups she is excited when she meets new people but this is only because she is still learning and desperately wants to please everyone and be their friend. She loves children and makes herself small by flattening to the ground when she meets them, a trick she invented herself! We can see that Zuri is exceptionally bright and quick to learn. Her favourite toy is her ball but she also has a box of soft toys and other things that she brings us to play with in the evenings. We also have interactive games, she loves her food so needless to say she has no problem in working out how to get the treats. She likes roaming the garden an exploring, and of course eating! Her behaviour when out and about at events and in the public eye is very good and she is a lovely affectionate girl, I’m very proud of her. She loves going out on her daily free runs and playing with all her doggie pals at the local park.

We have visited lots of places, the usual weekly shopping trips to a variety of shops, visiting family and friends, cafe’s and restaurants. She has also accompanied me on several charity talks and visits, most notably the Cornbury Music Festival, where she helped on the Dogs For Good stand and wandered with us round the site as we talked about the charity to the festival crowds; her behaviour was excellent, as always.”

We love following Zuri’s progress, and we hope you do to. Our next update will be in a couple of months time when Zuri is around 13 months.

Dogs For Good Update

Our sponsored puppy, Zuri, is now nearly 6 months old. Michelle Roberts, Puppy Partner Coordinator, has been kind enough to send us an update on her progress from her socialiser Judy.

“Zuri is maturing into a lovely young lady; very feminine, bright and extremely loving. She wakes up early every morning just as the first train passes close to our house! She really enjoys her walks and we are very lucky to live close to a beach and nature reserve. Her recall off her lead is really good. She returns to us when we whistle but expects a treat straight away.

Zuri’s general behaviour when out and about is very good and she is calm for her age but, as you’d expect, she’s very inquisitive when she is somewhere new and friendly with strangers. She is such an attractive dog that lots of people want to stop and stroke her. She gets very excited so we ask her to sit before people are allowed to say hello; this stops her from jumping up which is very important. At home she is doing well and has made herself very much at home. She’s full of energy and fun, very mischievous and happy when she’s right in the middle of everything that’s going on. She loves playing and has a wide selection of toys to choose from – by far her favourite, a Kong with kibble inside, no surprise there; she will happily eat anything you give her with great enthusiasm.”

Dogs for Good believe that a very special bond exists between dogs and humans, and our support allows them to continue exploring the incredible ways that dogs can improve and enrich our lives. We would like to thank all our customers for their continued donations that allow us all to share in Zuri’s training and progress.
