ADOPTED
Meet Sylvie 🐾

Sylvie is a 15-week-old puppy who is growing fast — she’s going to be a BIG girl! She’s a cuddly, shy sweetheart who loves a good contact nap, but she’s still very much a puppy too. She’s energetic, playful, loves to chew and bite, and still has lots of training ahead of her.

She is crate trained, meaning she eats and sleeps in her crate and is comfortable going in there when needed. She has been living with a 4-year-old child, another dog, a cat, kitten, and bunny. She’s friendly and curious, but she’s still learning how to be gentle 😅

Sylvie has been living her best puppy life, but unfortunately her current mum took her in when she needed help and can’t keep her long term, no matter how much she’d love to.

***PRIVATE REHOME***

Sylvie needs a home with someone who has the time, patience, love, and commitment to help her grow into the amazing dog she’s going to be ❤️

ADOPTED pending

This sweet boy is still looking for his forever home, hes a 6 months old collie cross and just the most loving happy boy ever! He gets a little anxious by himself as he's not use to it so a home with another dog or where someone is mostly home would best suit him.
Hes good with cats, hes toilet trained, pretty good on a lead, gets along good with other dogs although mostly uninterested.
The main thing this boy wants even more than treats, even more than sniffing fence posts!! Is snuggles, this boy will soak up every pat, every cuddle and every scratch he can get, and bonus he has the softest fur and most sqishable face!!
Such a beautiful dog, perfect for any families

Our dogs name is Nika. She’s a 6 year old border collie/Japanese Spitz cross that we’ve had since she was a puppy. We’re located in Tahunanui.
Unfortunately due to our expanding family means we have less and less time and energy to offer what Nika really needs as an active and high-energy dog. On top of this she has recently been diagnosed with a type of arthritis which has made it even harder for us. Unfortunately we live next to a busy road and typically she barks and runs around the garden a lot at passing pedestrians/cyclists which normally is ok, but now it’s making her injury worse and doesn’t allow her legs to reheal. The arthritis is manageable by medication.
We would really love to see her re-homed to someone who has more time than us who also doesn’t live in a situation where she’s running around the garden after pedestrians, so someone with a larger garden preferably.

Hi there!
I’m looking for a kind and loving home for my two cats.
They are 7-year-old siblings (one male, one female), both desexed, house trained, and the most relaxed, gentle companions.
They’re very low-maintenance, affectionate in their own calm way, and would suit a peaceful home.
If you think you might be able to help (even short-term), please reach out. It would mean so much 🤍

Mysty needs cancer surgery ($3–4k). Once abused, now deeply loved. She’s his world. Donations go direct to the vet. Every $1 helps save her!

❣️Foster Family Found ❣️

OK Tasman....happy Friday for some of us but not this boy..😞

Meet Barrett...🐕
This boy was due to be put to sleep this morning. Please no nasty comments, it's not helpful.

We desperately need a foster family or someone wanting to adopt that could foster to adopt.
This boy is located in Motueka.
He is only one and hasn't had much training.
He will need a fully fenced property with no chickens.
Not sure what he is like with cats.
Good with children.
Long term foster is ideal so we don't have to bounce him around from home to home.

Please Pm us if you have the time for this lovely boy....🐕
