Zazu ~ On Trial 8/3/15

My name is Zazu and I'm a 9 week old wolfie x bull arab puppy. I'm from a litter of pups born and raised in foster care after my mum Bella was rescued from death row at the pound. My foster mum says I remind her of a lion cub - when she cuddles me I go floppy and hug her back. I’m a really relaxed boy who loves to be held, so I’ll put my head on your shoulder.

I’m in foster care with a few of my siblings and 3 other adult dogs and I get along well with them all. I’m also in care with two children who love me - they tickle and scratch my ears and I’m in heaven. I have shorter legs than my siblings which is one of the reason why my foster mummy says I remind her of a lion cub. Even though I’m stockier I’m still fast as we chase each other around the yard – I just have a lower centre of gravity!

I'm going to be a big boy so my foster mummy says I'm best suited to children above 5 years as I might knock over toddlers accidentally. My mum Bella is only a small wolfie cross (border collie height) but my brothers and I are all very big so I have some big doggy genes in my breed mix.

I would really love a furever home with a young friendly playful dog as a playmate and a good role model. Although I love playing I am also a really solid sleeper and I sleep soundly with the other dogs all night long. After play time, I take many long puppy naps and I sleep well. I'm only new to toilet training as I'm just a baby, so my new family will need to continue to train me on where to go to the toilet.

My foster mum says I would best suit a furever home with another dog or someone who is home a lot. I need to be allowed inside when my family is home and sleep inside. I am very social and too young to be left alone for long periods of time. I would love to go to puppy-training classes when I’m a little older as my foster mum says they will give me the best start in life. I will need plenty of affection, exercise, and training from my new family.

My mum Bella, my sister Mouse, and my brothers Aspen, Java, Kerbie and Como are also available for adoption.
