Zucco is in foster with me at the moment! He arrived on friday with his tail between his legs looking frightened and confused but over the weekend he has blossomed into the happy feisty Yorkie he is He is an easy going fella who loves nothing more than sitting on the couch cuddled in next to you nudging you for rubs or playing with a squeaky toy or fetching a ball! He is very alert, loves looking out the window watching the goings on and giving a few barks at a strange noise! He is a great little fella completely house trained,well manered, so gentle and a very quite dog but when its walkies or play time he’s like a puppy again loads of energy and boy can he run! A great character and a joy to foster

Little zucco is still doing great and is coming on leaps and bounds! We took him on a day trip to relatives at the weekend to show him off and he was brilliant in their home! He didn’t have an accident or chew on anything, he just makes himself at home wherever he goes He really enjoyed running and rolling around their grassy backgarden compared to my garden which is all decking. He’s not very found of car journey’s but is getting used to them the more I have him out in the car. His lead training is going good as well and is understanding the ‘heel’ word more and more! And he has started giving the paw also, he’s such a quick learner He does a great trick with his toys or a treat, it has me in stitches its so funny to watch. He love’s to turn everything into a game! He tosses whatever he has up in the air over and over again, it would be going from one side of the room to the other and all the time he’ll be looking over proudly to make sure we’re watching him, He got microchipped on monday and is getting neutered today! He was really upset and confused this morning when I was leaving him at the vets poor fella. Can’t wait to get him back this evening and give him hugs

Wow He looks amazing, thanks a million Lydia Also a big thank you to Jetta for doing such a fantastic job on his haircut

I just found out a bit about this little man and its no wonder he was confused in the pound.
His owner was an elderly man who was taken into care so could no longer look after him.
He was taken by car to the pound so a car would have had sad memories for him.
He was loved and looked after as well as the man could do at the time.As the man was elderly he would not have been in a position to give him all he needed growing up so he has missed out somewhat, but at least he did not have a bad experience of humans.
I am sure Zucco is grieving in his own little way but hopefully all the new experiences in his great foster home will help him to move on and start a new page in his young life.
Thank you Lydia for giving him this opportunity and chance, again this is why fostering instead of a kennel situation is so important.
He could never have moved on in a kennel environment.

Zucco you look great after your makeover, I know lots of people are interested in adopting you, but dont worry DID will make sure you get the best possible home that suits you.

Zucco has been such a trouper since he got neutered wednesday, a very good patient! He hasn’t let out even one little yelp since I collected him at the vets He slept for most of wednesday and thursday morning and was back to his usual jolly self by yesterday afternoon! I thought that having that cone around his head would drive him crazy but he just accepted it. It’s terrible watching him walking into everything because of it, he hasn’t quiet mastered the width of it yet for getting through spaces Eating and drinking has been a new and fustrating callenge for him also with the cone!

He’s really missing his walkies and is just waiting by the front door.

Zucco is around 4 years old!

And some more of this handsome fella!
