Meet Pupstar Gizmo – the greatest Xmas gift!
Gizmo is a little pup with a big future ahead. Thanks to kind supporters like you, this adorable yellow lab has just begun his guide-dog journey – and he’s already your new Pupstar!
This wee bundle of joy recently arrived at his new Puppy Raisers home and stole everyone’s hearts in an instant. Little Gizmo comes from a big family – with mum Bree, dad Bennett, and nine siblings (yes, nine!). He’s still getting settled into his new home with his very experienced puppy raiser, who’s already smitten. But he’ll be catching up with his many brothers and sisters for puppy playdates in no time.
Gizmo arrived with his comfort blanket – it’s like a little piece of home to help him feel safe and settled. Dogs are natural “den” animals, so they love to have a cosy spot of their own. Gizmo’s crate is extra inviting with soft bedding; his puppy raiser even hides the occasional surprise treat inside. Add in some new toys, and this wee guy has made himself right at home!
The first few weeks of puppy training are all about building those good habits that will set Gizmo up for success. His puppy raiser is currently teaching Gizmo which toys are his to chew, like his beloved Kongs, and what’s off limits – like the furniture! Gizmo is also learning his routine of eating, play and sleep, and he’s taking to it wonderfully. Right now, everything is new and exciting, so his puppy raiser is making sure every experience is positive and fun.
The coming months will be packed with more exciting milestones. Gizmo will start learning to respond to his name, along with basic commands like ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘come’. His puppy raiser will carry him everywhere until he has his final vaccinations, to experience the outside world – all the sights, sounds and smells he’ll get used to as he grows.
Every adventure Gizmo goes on is carefully planned to help him grow into a calm, confident guide dog. Thanks to your generous support, this wonderful guide dog Pupstar is getting the love, care and expert training he needs to change lives. We can’t wait to share Gizmo’s journey with you throughout 2026!
