Meet Jäger – Loving and Energetic Rottweiler x German Shepherd | Northland
This is Jäger, a 3-year-old Rottweiler x German Shepherd. He is full of love, energy, and enthusiasm. Jäger is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and has no hip issues.

He is very sociable, enjoys the company of people and other dogs, and has been an excellent guard dog — a big bark but no bite.
Due to changing circumstances, the owner is no longer able to provide the full life Jäger deserves and is seeking a responsible, loving new home for him.

The owner is based in Mangawhai and is often in Whangārei, making most of Northland easily accessible for meet-and-greets.

Rehoming Sargent – Seeking a Stable, Permanent Home

The owner is seeking a stable, forever home for Sargent (Sarge), who is unfortunately needing rehoming for the second time. Earlier this year, due to unforeseen circumstances, the owner had to find a new home for him. Several families expressed interest, and he was successfully placed with a local family. However, the current owner’s circumstances have now changed drastically, and they must move by this Saturday, meaning Sargent urgently needs a new home.

Sargent will require a committed and reliable family who can provide long-term stability. He is not suitable for homes with cats, and the owner is happy to discuss this further with potential adopters. If anyone is able to offer him a forever home — or even temporary care until a suitable adopter within the community is found — please send a private message to discuss further. The owner cannot take him back due to housing limitations.

Khavarah’s Rehoming 🐾
Meet Khavarah!

Khavarah is a beautiful Hunterway x Staffy who has just turned one (September). The owner is sadly needing to rehome her due to being unable to renew their tenancy and the difficulty of finding a dog-friendly property.

Khavarah is fully house-trained and great with kids and cats. She’s comfortable around toddlers, loud noises, and high energy, as she’s grown up in a busy household. She’s also a quick learner and responds to both verbal and silent commands, including sit, lay down, wait, come, and high five.

Khavarah walks nicely on a leash and has a loving, affectionate nature. She’s a big cuddler and adores bedtime — especially when she can sneak into someone else’s bed!

When the owner adopted Khavarah, no vaccination history was provided, and no veterinary records could be located, so her vaccination status is currently unknown.
Khavarah is located in the Manawatu, and the owner would ideally love for her to find a home nearby so they may visit occasionally, if the new owner is comfortable with that. Rehoming is urgent, as the owner only has a few days to secure a new home for her.
