About Zach
Hi my name is Mr. Zach. I'm a Golden Retriever. I was born on December 1, 2018. If you ask my handler, he'll say I am the smartest dog in the whole wide world. I could not agree with him more. I love to play. I am very silly. I like to impersonate Michael Phelps with my version of the breast stroke. I am in the process of becoming a service dog, so I'm being taught a few things. But if you ask me, I'm the one teaching my handlers a thing or two, like compassion, patience, understanding and love.

It has been an exciting month. I went to another prison to visit my other NLK9 family and I had so much fun meeting the fellas and all the other dogs. Although I had a lot of fun, I’m glad to be back at PVSP. I missed my dog family. I only have a few more weeks before I meet my forever family and can’t wait.

H, everyone. I have been working on my emotional confidence and I’m starting to feel much stronger and braver. It took baby steps but I’m doing new things! I'm jumping on cots, going upstairs, and going over lockers, and having fun doing it.
I also like playing on the wobble board. I really enjoy going out with my puppy raiser, Ms. Lopez, for the weekend. It's so much fun but I also get excited to come back. My best dog buddy is my brother, Nelson. I really love my stuffed animals. Well, take care!

Hello everybody it's me, the handsome Zachy. It's been a few months since I did a check-in but I'm back! I'm working on my recall. I’m really good at it too. When I hear someone call me over, I go over to them! You’ll have to see me doing it sometime, it's awesome. I am amazing but I'm also humble. I guess you could say that I'm humbly amazing!

I can’t believe another month has come and gone. Life is so fun here at PVSP. All of my needs are met by Richard and all my other buddies. I’ve been working hard on my manners. I jump sometimes. I don’t mean to be rude, I just want to look at people’s eyes and face. People are just amazing. I haven’t met a person I don’t like.

Hi everybody,
It's me Zach just cheking in. I have been having so much fun with Richard. We're really starting to get to know each other a lot more. He used to nag me but now I do things the first time he asks. I like it better this way!
I'm loving life and playing with my friend Nelson. I get to go out on the weekends with Ms. Lopez again. Well until next time!

Hello, it's me Zachy. It's been another fun month here at school. I finally went out for the weekend and that was so much fun. I have been working on all kinds of things, like colors and taking off socks and jackets. I'm teaching Richard how to be a good guy. We're both learning from each other. My best friend is Nelson, but I play with all the dogs too.
