💔🐾💔

💙 🕊🐾Rest Easy, Prometheus (Mr P)💙🕊🐾
A battle for life fought, but sadly, not won.

Mr P's blood results were concerning, indicating that his kidneys and liver were not in good shape. Sadly, neither was he. After much discussion, the difficult decision was made to give him peace rather than prolong his suffering. His future was uncertain, and it was the kindest decision we could make for him.

We want to say a MASSIVE thank you 🙌🥰 to his incredibly loving foster family, who opened their home and hearts to Mr P over the past couple of months. Thank you for everything you did for him and for surrounding him with so much love.

We have made the decision that Mr P's ashes will remain with his foster family because, in the end, that was his home. They were his people, and we couldn't think of a more fitting place for him to rest. ❤️

A very special thank you to Fundraising for Impounded Dogs - New Zealand for rallying around Mr P and fundraising for him over the weekend. To every single person who donated, shared his story or supported his cause, we are incredibly grateful. Your generosity helped make sure he received the care he needed, and that his cremation was covered too.

To everyone who had this boy's back, including those working tirelessly behind the scenes at Waikato Pound Pups, & Rolly Canine thank you.
So many people wanted to see Mr P get his next chapter, and while it wasn't the ending we hoped for, he certainly touched many hearts along the way.

And to our beautiful Mr Prometheus....
You stole pillows, and you stole hearts.
Rest easy, beautiful boy. You were loved more than you will ever know. ❤️🐾

Forever part of the Waikato Pound Pups family.

🐕🐾A CHANGE OF PLANS FOR PROMETHEUS (MR P) & JETT!🐾🐕

Mr P has been in our care since August, unfortunately without a single applicant. 💔😥
The reality is that we simply cannot hold dogs forever, and sometimes we need to look at other opportunities to give them the best chance of finding their forever homes.

The wonderful team at Rolly Canine down south agreed to take Mr P on and continue working with his escape artist antics and get him adoption-ready.

Everything was organised for the big move, with huge thanks to A4dibble Pet Transport for making it possible. A special shout-out to Fundraising for Impounded Dogs - New Zealand, whose fundraising helped pay for the pet bus that makes journeys like this possible. This is exactly the kind of difference your support makes! ❤️

However, Friday night Prometheus started going downhill with what we suspect is a tummy bug. After a vet visit on Saturday morning, it was clear he is not fit to travel.

With a quick change of plans, we decided Jett would take his place. 💙🙏
Jett had received a few applications, but unfortunately nothing had progressed or come back to us.

So, Jett, it's your turn for a new adventure with a new home already lined up 😍!

A huge thank you to Rolly Canine for opening your doors and giving these boys an opportunity. We wish Jett all the very best with the team down south. We know that with a little confidence building and the right support, his perfect home is waiting for him. ❤️🐾

And Mr P, don't worry, your journey isn't over. We'll get you feeling better first! 💙

This stunning Doberman recently completed a board & train program with us to work on some pretty serious human aggression and reactivity behaviour. He did exceptionally well with his training, and is now able to remain calm and collected around new people. He has been able to interact appropriately with people with the correct guidance, and has gained a lot of confidence during his stay with us.

It's that time of year when things start to get very HOT ☀️🌡

Please be mindful walking your dog in warm weather as the pavement gets extremely hot and can burn your dogs paws. A good way to test if it's too hot to walk your dog is to put the back of your hand on the pavement and if it's too hot to hold your hand there for 5 seconds, then it's too hot to walk your dog!

Heat stroke is also common in dogs around this time of year. Avoid intense exercise in hot weather. Signs of heat stroke can include:
- excessive panting or drooling
- pale or bright red gums
- saliva turning into a thick paste
- trembling/shaking or loss of coordination
- seizures or sudden collapse

If your dog is showing signs of heat stroke, please contact your vet asap as heatstroke can be deadly.

Puppies, elderly dogs and brachycephalic/short nosed breeds are most at risk of heat stroke.

The best time to walk your dog on hot days is early in the morning or later in the evening. There are also plenty of fun games you can play at home to keep your dog entertained when it's too hot to go for a walk 🐾

This very cute staffy is one of our current day training clients. We are working on leash manners, general obedience skills and focus work. He can be a bit cheeky and has a bad habit of playing tug-o-war with his leash on walks, and pulling wherever he wants to go! He is already making great progress after his first day training session, and we look forward to continuing with his training over the next couple of weeks to keep building on the positive behaviours, and stopping those cheeky habits.
If you would like to learn more about our day training programs, please send us a message ☺️
