Zara is our playful puppy!

Posted by Brendan Cooper

Zara is the sweetest yellow Labrador pup you could imagine.

She has quite dark colouring which makes her bright, brown eyes sparkle when they catch the light.

Zara finds training fun, which is really how it should be. The more a hearing dog thinks it’s playing a game, the more they learn. Being a Labrador, she will also do anything for food. This is a great way to teach a young pup the basics from a very early age. Plenty of praise and puppy treats!

She just lives for fun. Take her outside and she’ll run around catching leaves. Again, she doesn’t mind whether she actually catches them, so long as she has fun. To a small puppy, the world can be a scary place. But not to Zara. It’s all fun, fun, fun!

Zara’s already reacting well to basic obedience commands such as ‘sits’ and ‘downs’, but she needs to focus. We’re sure this will come. It just needs time – and treats.

Finally, here are some exclusive photos from behind the scenes, never seen before, just for you – Zara’s sponsor. Thank you for supporting her!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
