Puppypalooza!

Three puppies have just entered our program:

Chief: 12-week deaf male who is sweet as candy on a stick. He's curious, outgoing, playful and an extremely good puppy (crate and almost potty trained). He's recovering from a bad case of kennel cough so we'll see if he gets more rambunctious when he's feeling better. He enjoys playing with a 5yo female Lab and hanging out with a 6yo little girl in his foster home.

Zuma: 11-week gray brindle girl who has glaucoma in her left eye, could be due to an injury but most likely congenital. Original estimate for the surgery to remove the eye was $1400 - $1500; UCD Teaching Hospital has given an estimate of $500-600 so she's on the waiting list and will have the surgery there early April. In the interim, Zuma gets eyedrops to maintain the pressure in her eye while we raise the funds for her surgery. Zuma has already adapted to the vision loss in that eye so there won't be a transition period after her recovery. This little girl is full of puppy curiosity and loves to play with other dogs; and she is great with cats.

Remy: 8-month guy who is truly a happy-go-lucky fellow! He's all about play and counts a Pug among one of his best buddies. He tries to play with the family cat but gets beat up by him every time. Remy is about 44 pounds and is still full of puppy exuberance and clumsiness. He's very social with people and other animals and can play fetch for hours. He knows he's in trouble if you call him "Remington".
