About Zooga
My name Is Zooga and I am male, de-sexed and not quite 3 years old. My breed is unknown, however, I have a lovely stance and look quite magnificent especially when I am lifting one of my front paws in the classic ‘pointer’ gesture.
I am a very quiet dog with a very affectionate nature. I love to be patted and will sit by you all day if you want to pat me. I love company of any kind (dogs and/or people) however, I am also happy to lie in the backyard and sun bake or sleep if I am alone. Being such a quiet dog means I won’t wake you up during the night so you get a good night’s sleep too!
I absolutely love the water. I will literally bound through the water if out at the weir or along a river’s edge. In summer when it’s warm I will need a shell pool for the backyard so I can lie and cool down please. Although I am a real water baby I don’t like taking my feet off the ground.
I am a very quick learner. I can sit and wait on command. My recall is really very good and I can be off lead when away from roads and in the parks and will come back to you when you call me. I love going for walks and have been out with other dogs and had a great time. After the first excitement of meeting new dogs/people I will come back when called (sometimes I even come back to you first, before I meet even them so that with age and a bit of training my recall will only get better). I am very aware of where my human is during our walks and look back to make sure they are still nearby. I am excellent in the car. I either sit up and look out the window or lie down and have a snooze, sometime I like to lie along the floor if you let me.
I have actually been in rescue for some time. I think this may have something to do with my photos not really doing me justice. I have been told that in the flesh I am a really stunning looking dog with great colourings (I even have a big heart on my side to show how much love I have to give). I have a fine/narrow body similar in shape to a pointer or kelpie and not much bigger than a kelpie overall. Everyone who meets me comments on what a happy natured boy I am. I'll admit that while I love to play with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I'm not a fan of sharing my food with other dogs (however, I do know and understand a stern ‘Ah-ah’ when I am interested in my mate’s food). With some basic training early on, this is something I know I can overcome with your help.
I am not good with cattle, I find them fascinating and cats are way to much fluff for me and not sure how to behave around them.
Due to a change in my foster carer’s circumstances they could no longer keep me so I am currently at the local pound waiting for another foster carer - or even better a new forever home. I have a beautiful smile and a happy nature and would love to be part of your home and family.
Please feel free to drop a line to WDR and ask for me. Love Zooga.
