Suka
Breed: Mastiff Mix
Color: Brown Brindle

Age: 2 years

Rescued by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement in May 2008, Suka is a high-energy comedienne who’s one part sass and all parts cuddle monkey. Here she reflects on staying in shape, playing to tough crowds and shaking the right toys.

ASPCA: Hello, Suka! It’s nice to see you again. You’re looking adorbs, as always.

Suka: Thanks, darlin! Aren’t you a peach? How does my tail look?

ASPCA: Woah, it’s Speedy McSpeederson back there! How does it move so fast?

Suka: Butt blasters, honey! I do ‘em every day. A girl’s gotta keep on top of her figure or she’ll never meet the two-legged of her dreams.

ASPCA: True that, Suka, but you have much to recommend you, not just a cute rear.

Suka: Well, I do crack a good joke every now and then, but this ain’t the best venue, ahem.

ASPCA: Well, let’s find you the right crowd. What’s your idea of the perfect pet parent?

Suka: Oh girlfriend, where do I start? Tall, dark and handsome? No, seriously, just someone who sees the bright side of things, laughs at all my jokes and likes to horse around.

ASPCA: And what are you offering in return?

Suka: Hon, look at me. I’m a bundle of cuteness, and I shake to please.

ASPCA: Point taken…Got a favorite toy

Suka: The Kong is pretty fun, but sometimes I get a little too jazzed by it.

ASPCA: Jazzed?

Suka: I like to chew it up and shake it all around. I’m better off with toys that can stand my party jaws.

ASPCA: Mkay, but that sounds kinda scary…

Suka: Nah, sugar, it’s all fun.

ASPCA: How ‘bout other dogs? Kids? Cats?

Suka: I have no idea what a cat is, but kids older than six are pretty neat. Dogs aren’t my specialty, but I wouldn’t mind getting to know some.

ASPCA: Suka, you are a charming lady…

Suka: And you have great taste!
