Gazza - Shop Dog
Gazza is a Labrador/Staffy cross we rescued through Dog Watch when he was about 6/8 months old back in 2017. He is friendly & keen to meet new & old friends & will most likely be the first staff member to greet you when you arrive at the workshop.
Whilst Gazza has no formal industry training he enjoys company & is very partial to a good pat or ear scratch but I can assure you that you will want to stop long before Gazza wants you to.
