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.
