NOTICE TO FAMILIES: THERAPY DOG AVAILABLE!

" DUMA "

(means 'to roar' in Zulu) is a pure bred Standard Poodle.  He is 3

years old and has been surrounded by 3 children (ages now 3, 8 & 11

yrs) for the past 2.5 years.  He has the most amazing disposition with

children and adults alike and is not in the least concerned with

childrens'rough-housing.  He is great with other animals.

Duma

joined our family to come along side our son, recovering from a brain

injury.  We wanted Duma to be a companion/therapy dog.  He is very

bright and is a wonderful companion; however, our son does not want to

interact with him.  Duma has so much potential to be a great therapy

dog, but in our case, our son is not interested in bonding with him.

We

would like to find Duma--a home where a special needs child would

really benefit from having such a dog.  It was never my intention to

purchase such a smart dog to just be a family dog.  He has too much

potential.

He is

100% house trained and follows simple commands such as sit, lie down,

roll etc.  He does great on a treadmill, as he does need excercise. His

coat does not shed at all.....great for an indoor dog!

We

hate to let him go, but he really needs to " work " and be the therapy

dog that comes so naturally to Standard Poodles....I hate to see his

potential wasted as just a family dog!

Please

email natanijones{at}phoenixmail.com if you are interested in our Standard

Poodle.  We're located in Phoenix, Arizona.  Standard Poodles are

expensive dogs, but we would like to give our dog to a family who could

invest the time to train him, especially with a special needs child who

can interact and bond with him.  All you would need to do is organize

travel arrangements.

Thank you,

Natani
