Breed: Spitz x

Age when rescued: about 8/9 months
Age now: approx 4yrs

Rescue organisation: Battersea

History: Zak was found walking the streets of London and given to Battersea because the people that found him couldnt keep him, he was too energetic and destructive. Mum was contacted by the working dog coordinator at Battersea, she knew we were looking for a medium agility dog. I was 10 at the time and had been doing agility with mum's dog who was getting to old and I really wanted a dog of my own.Zak is the brightest, cleverist, most enthusiastic, fantastic dog, we couldnt have chosen a more loyal, loving, adorable dog and couldnt find another one if we tried. He was hard work to train and still tends to switch on and off like a light bulb!  He has visited many a burger van and weeed up many ring posts while supposed to be competing, but he loves going to shows and being the centre of attention. As a BC owner,Mum didnt want a crossbred dog at first but after having Zak she is converted and says she would have another rescue dog any day of the week and would encourage anyone to give a dog a chance. They may just get a nice surprise like she did!

Rebecca adds: Thank-you for trying to encorouge others to give a rescue dog a home and a chance of a happy life.
