Brody is needing a Forever or Foster Home.

Brody's greatest wish is for him to find his forever home, where he can finally settle and enjoy the love, stability, and security he so wants & deserves.

However, if his perfect home doesn't come along, I would also love to hear from anyone who may be able to offer him a foster home while he waits for that special family to find him.

🐾 MEET BRODY 🐾

🐶 8.5 months old Mastiff/Pointer/X

❤️ Snuggly, gentle young gentleman looking for his forever home

This handsome boy is Registered, Microchipped, Desexed, Vaccinated, Flead and Wormed.

Brody is a very snuggly boy who loves other dogs and has also come to adore the cat he is living with.
They all sleep together and Brody is very chilled and respectful around them 🐶🐱❤️

He would suit either a family home, as he is great with children, or someone wanting a loyal one-person companion.

He loves affection, attention and being close to his people.

Brody is pretty good on the lead.

He’s interested in other dogs and enjoys being playful with them.

Brody will need high fences as he has been known to jump the fence when left alone.

He is learning to come when called at the park using treats and positive reinforcement.

✔️ Toilet trained
✔️ Sits on command
✔️ Great with other dogs
✔️ Good with cats
✔️ Loves cuddles and attention

If you would be interested in giving Brody a forever or foster home please get in contact

📍 FOSTERING - All needs are covered by us while in foster care. We simply need you to provide a safe and loving home while he waits for his forever family.

📍 ADOPTION - An adoption fee applies to help cover costs.

📩Please make sure you fill out either a Adoption or Foster Application, located at the top of our page.

If you're unable to find it, send us a message and we'll send you the link.

If you have already completed an Adoption or Foster Application, please let us know if you could be interested in helping Brody.

Thank you ❤️

🐾 OAKLEY IS LOOKING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME 🐾

Originally from the Napier Pound, Oakley has settled beautifully into his foster home and is now ready to find a family of his very own.

Breed - StaffyX
S*x - Male
Age - 14 Weeks

Oakley has been Registered, Microchipped, 1st Vaccination done, flead and Wormed.

Some dogs come into your life and quietly make themselves at home. Oakley is one of those dogs.

This handsome brindle boy has a heart as big as his personality.
Full of love, happiness, and enthusiasm, Oakley wakes up each day ready to embrace the world and everyone in it.
Whether he's making new friends, playing with his canine companions, or curling up beside you for a cuddle, Oakley simply wants to share his joy.

In foster care, Oakley has shown just how special he is.
He happily plays with dogs of all sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas and Dachshunds through to large German Shepherds, and treats them all as friends.
His gentle, social nature makes him a pleasure to have around, and his constantly wagging tail has a way of brightening even the toughest days.

When the adventures are over, Oakley transforms into the sweetest cuddle buddy.
He loves affection, scratches, and being close to his people.
More than anything, he wants to belong, to be someone's best friend, and to be part of a family.

Oakley is crate trained, toilet trained, and is a clever boy who understands both English and Afrikaans commands, including sit, down, and toilet.

He loves his walks, enjoys meeting new people and dogs, and approaches life with a carefree spirit that reminds you to appreciate the little things.

He has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for a family who will love him as much as he will love them.

Oakley is looking for a home where he will be included as part of the family and given the love and companionship he thrives on.

If you're looking for a loyal companion, an adventure buddy, and a best friend all wrapped into one handsome brindle package, Oakley may just be the dog you've been waiting for.

If you think you could give Oakley the loving forever home he deserves, we would absolutely love to hear from you. 🐾❤️

Please complete our adoption application form (pinned to the top of our page), or send us a message and we can forward the link to you. 😊

Thank you for considering adoption and helping a deserving dog find his happily ever after. 🏡🐶❤️

Please share far and wide and help Oakley find the loving home he deserves. ❤️🏡

🐾Community Rehome for Stella🐾

🐾 Stella is looking for a new home 🐾

📍 Hastings

Stella is a beautiful female 1-year-old Mastiff/X who is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.

Originally adopted from Pound Pooches Hawke's Bay, Stella was one of a litter of four female puppies that came into care at a very young age.

She has grown into a lovely young girl and is looking for a new family of her own.

✔️ Desexed
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Registered

Stella has a wonderful temperament and is generally unfazed by most things.
She will bark to alert you when someone approaches the home but is otherwise quiet and settled throughout the day.
She is good with cats, other dogs, and children, making her a great addition to many different households.
Stella is a large dog and is still learning how big she is.

Reason for Rehoming
Unfortunately, she is a little too much for the family's extra-small dog, so she would be better suited to a home with a medium to large dog, or as the only dog.

Stella is a loving, loyal girl with plenty of affection to give and deserves a home where she can continue to thrive.

If you think you could offer Stella the forever home she deserves, please get in touch by msgd with her owner Lauren on 022103345, or https://www.facebook.com/share/1CawsEniDm/

Please let them know a little about yourself, your family, any other pets you may have, and the kind of home and lifestyle you can offer Stella.

This will help her owner find the best possible match for their lovely girl.

Thank you for your interest in Stella. ❤️

S*x: Female

Sophie is ready to find a family of her own who will love her, continue her training, and give her the wonderful life she deserves. ❤️🐾

If you think Sophie could be the perfect addition to your family, we'd love to hear from you. 🏡💕

🐾 FOSTER HOME OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED 🐾

Samson came to us from the Napier Pound as a 3-month-old puppy and has now been waiting over six months for a family to call his own.

Despite all this time, Samson still hasn't found a home..

We'd really love to see this deserving young boy finally land on his feet and find the forever home and people he has been waiting so patiently for.

📍Location:Napier

Meet: SAMSON 💙
📅 Age: 9 months
🐕 Breed: American Staffy Cross
🚹 S*x: Male

✅ Desexed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Registered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Flea Treated
✅ Worm Treated

Samson is an active, playful young boy who is looking for either a foster home or a forever home.

He loves being involved in whatever is happening around him and would thrive in a home where he receives plenty of daily exercise, enrichment, and attention.
Ideally, he would suit a home where someone is around for much of the day.

Samson enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play.
He is an alert young lad who will bark when appropriate and likes to keep an eye on what's happening around him.

When meeting new people, Samson can be a little excitable initially, but once visitors are inside and he has had a chance to say hello, he settles down nicely.

He has also made good progress with his food manners, although he still occasionally checks to see if anyone has left any food behind.

He knows his name and comes when called, especially when treats are involved.
Samson is very food motivated, which makes training enjoyable and rewarding.
He already sits politely for his meals and continues to make good progress.

Samson would be best suited to a home with older children.
Being a young and enthusiastic dog, he can sometimes be a little mouthy and boisterous during play and may grab items children are carrying in an attempt to start a game.

He loves being part of family life and is always keen to lend a helping paw around the house. Whether it's chasing the broom while you're sweeping or helping inspect the fruit while you're gardening, Samson likes to be involved in everything.

Like many young dogs, Samson can become destructive if he is bored, so his new home will need to provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and enrichment to keep him happy and occupied.
He is also a little wary of lawnmowers, w**d eaters, brooms, bikes, wheelbarrows, and spades.

Samson is a fun-loving, affectionate young dog with plenty of personality and potential.
With continued guidance, training, and love, he will make a fantastic companion.

If you can offer Samson a foster home or his forever home, please get in touch. ❤️

Please make sure to fill in our foster or adoption application, it is in our featured posts at the top of our page or if you send us a message we can send you the link 😊

If you have already filled in an application and could be interested in fostering or adopting, please send a msgd and let me know.

🚨 URGENT – FOSTER OR ADOPTIVE HOMES NEEDED 🚨

I honestly don't know what else to do.
I am at my wits' end trying to find homes or somewhere for these dogs to go.

I currently have three dogs desperately needing somewhere to go:

Bron needs somewhere by tomorrow, Thursday.
Titan needs somewhere by Monday.
Samson needs somewhere asap

Despite receiving enquiries and applications, I've found many applications are incomplete, with false references or, tenancy agreements not being sent through, or contact details not working.
As a one-person rescue, I simply can't keep chasing everything up myself.

Rescue has been hard but the last couple of weeks have been one of the hardest I've faced as a rescuer, and this situation is starting to affect me both emotionally and physically.

These dogs deserve a chance, and I desperately need help.

Please take a moment to view their profiles below and see if one of them might be the perfect fit for your family to either adopt or foster.

🚨 URGENT FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR BRON 🚨

I've have just heard that Bron needs to be out of his current foster home by Thursday, and right now, I have nowhere for him to go.

Bron is a handsome 14-month-old Heading Dog cross who is looking for either a committed foster home or, ideally, a forever home.

✅ Registered
✅ Microchipped
✅ Vaccinations up to date
✅ Desexed
✅ Flea and worm treated

❤️ Affectionate and cuddly

🎾 Loves his toys and being with his people 🏡 House-trained and crate-trained

🐕 Good with other dogs

👦 Great with teenage children

🧠 Smart, eager to learn, and responsive to praise

Bron is an active young dog who needs a fully fenced section and a confident handler willing to continue building his confidence.
He can be reactive to motorbikes and large trucks when out on walks but he is making progress.

Pound Pooches Hawke's Bay has engaged a Trust Technique Practitioner who will support Bron and his foster or adoptive family.
You won't be on your own and will have guidance to help Bron continue progressing.

Please message us if you think you could help, or complete a Foster or Adoption Application.

Applications can be found at the top of our page.

If you're unable to find it, simply send us a message and we'll send you the link.

🙏 Bron urgently needs somewhere safe to go by Thursday.

Please share far and wide.
Every share could help him find the home he desperately needs. 🐾❤️

Community Rehome for Tess 🐶

We have not met Tess but have been asked to help find her a new home and family

Tess is looking for a new home where she can continue to learn, grow, and thrive

📍Location : Hastings

Breed : Mixed Breed
Age : 6 months old

✔️ Desexed
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Registered
✔️ Microchipped

Tess is a playful, energetic girl who enjoys the company of people and other dogs.
She gets along well with dogs of a similar size and is good with cats.

She is also great with older children, but due to her strength and enthusiasm, she is not suited to homes with young children as she can be quite boisterous and loves to jump and play.

She has shown interest in chasing and playing with rabbits, so a home with bunnies is not recommended.

Tess is energetic on the lead and would benefit from ongoing training and guidance.

She can be left alone for periods of time contained in a safe area, she does not suffer from separation anxiety.
She is generally a quiet dog who does not bark much.

Tess is not currently house trained and has spent most of her time outdoors, but she is a smart girl who would likely learn quickly and would love being part of the family indoors.

She is still learning and will need an owner who can continue her training and provide her with structure, companionship, and regular exercise.

An active home, lifestyle block, where she can enjoy walks and plenty of attention would suit her well.

Reason for Rehoming:
This decision has not been made lightly.
Due to changing family circumstances and the demands of caring for four young children under 7,Tess's owner is no longer able to dedicate the time and attention needed to continue her training and meet her exercise needs.

She is looking for a loving home where Tess can continue to thrive and reach her full potential.

📩If you would like to know more about Tess, please msgd her owner Emma on 022 643 5193.

Please let Emma know alittle bit about your home and family ❤️
