Zara *On Trial in Her New Home*

*ZARA IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HER NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Meet laidback Zara! She’s one of a litter of healthy, happy puppies who were born in September. Her mum is a purebred Labrador while her dad is a Labrador x Doberman.

All of the pups have friendly, affectionate natures and are used to being handled (cuddled!). Zara gets along well with her foster carers own young dog just wanting to play or hang out. They all enjoy food, especially treats which is helping with their training and they’re learning the basics such as “sit” and “down” – Zara definitely knows her name! The pups have started going for walks on a lead and like getting out and about though of course they’ll need some more practice with this in their forever homes.

“Sleepy Zara”, as she’s affectionately known, is a fairly relaxed pup who is often found napping. She’s the sookier one who enjoys human companionship and we reckon she’d be ok as an only dog preferably in a home where she wasn’t left alone for really long hours each day while you’re at work. Zara LOVES food (she has the fattest little belly all the time!) though she does tend to wolf it down so hopefully a scoff bowl will help with this. She has fun playing with her sister or frolicking under the sprinklers in this hot Mildura weather we’ve been having – she’s a real water baby! She’s not overly licky like some pups can be and only barks for a reason. We wouldn’t recommend Zara to a home with young children as she may accidentally bowl the littlies over when she’s excited!

As Zara’s only a young pup she will require ongoing obedience training as well as socialisation with other dogs so she grows up having lovely manners. The pups are mostly outside though do sleep in a crate in their carer’s laundry so you’d have to be prepared to work on their toilet-training if they’re to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle we’d eventually love them to have. Daily walks, secure fencing, bones to chew on and toys to play with will make Zara very happy indeed!
