The zoo recently announced that they adopted a puppy friend, named Daisy, from the Animal Rescue Fund Inc. for Rozi.

In a social media post, the zoo showed the moments the two first met.

“It’s not always love at first sight during these early introductions, so everything is done slowly over time. There will be many more play sessions to help the two get acclimated to each other,” the zoo said in a social media post.

Eventually, the cheetah will see the puppy as a sibling, the zoo said.
