Hi, My name is Zyla and I was raised from a puppy to become a Leader Dog for the Blind. I had a wonderful first home for 12 months and was taught many wonderful things by my "puppy raiser". When I went back to Leader Dogs for the Blind kennel in Rochester, MI; they gave me a complete evaluation. They decided I would make a perfect Leader Dog for a blind or deaf/blind person and that they would like to have 100 more just like me. Sooooo, they decided they would make me part of their breeding program.
But first I needed a new home. At the end of August in 2008 I went to my new home in Sterling Heights, MI where I now live with Gary & Paula. They are my "foster parents". I was only there a few days when Gary & Paula took me to Sleeper Park in Michigan to camp for a few days. There I met some of their friends and started making new friends myself.
Only a few more days went by when Gary & Paula took me back to the Leader Dog Kennel. Boy, was I worried. I thought they didn't like me. Then I found out they had picked out a boy dog for me to play with. He was a Yellow Labrador Retreiver. I am a Black Labrador Retreiver. I wasn't sure what they wanted us to do, but after a couple of weeks Gary & Paula came back to get me and about 63 days after that....well, I had puppies!
