Welcome to the rescue Holly.
Holly comes from a colony we’ve been working to help. We’ve desexed and rehomed many of the felines living on the property, stopping the reproductive cycle. Two adult cats in the colony have become what we lovingly call “trap-savvy” — clever, cautious, and far too quick for us… so far! Hence Holly is one of the kittens born to one of these cats.

We’re doing everything we can to bring her three siblings in too. In the meantime, little Holly is settling in beautifully. She’s safe, warm and being showered with lots of love — and already showing us what a sweet soul she is. 🌿

Behind Every Rescue Call Is a Human Story
Over the last few weeks, our rescue has been responding to community reach-outs that have been nothing short of heartbreaking. It’s easy to look at a dog with ribs showing and think the problem is simple—but it never is.

Behind every neglected animal is a family in crisis. A family who loves their pet, but who is struggling under the crushing weight of life. A family who is choosing between feeding their children or feeding their dog. People who are living in overcrowded housing, facing destitution or homelessness, or who simply cannot afford desexing, food, or vet care—and who have reached out to every rescue for help, only to hear, “Sorry, we’re full.”
What options are left then?

For any true animal lover, the alternative is too hard to think about.

These past weeks have reminded us that we are not just rescuing animals—we are supporting people who feel hopeless and ashamed. People who are trying, and who love their animals deeply, but who are drowning.

We wish we had the space and resources to bring every dog and every family under our wing. We wish we had a facility where we could keep them safe. But with Christmas approaching, many of our amazing fosterers are away, and our hands are tied tighter than ever. All we can do right now is deliver food, provide vet support, and offer compassion.
But today there are two dogs we simply cannot walk away from.

They are gentle souls—thin, and desperate for affection. They soak up every stroke and whisper of kindness. They are loving. They are people-seeking. They deserve more than the situation they are currently in.
We do not want to leave them where they are.
But without a foster to adopt home or adopt home, we have nowhere for them to go.

We Are Asking for a Christmas Miracle
We are searching for a home who can partner with us to heal them:
A safe place that will be a forever home
Food to put weight on
Love to rebuild trust

Because of the delicate nature of these situations, we can discuss with people when they PM the page.

We will support every step of the way.

Our gorgeous Peggy trying so hard at her first hydro therapy session. What a trooper. Although initially a bit nervous, Peggy tried her hardest and was like a duck to water at the end! Well done Peggy and thanks Liz at Thors Wet Paws Hydrotherapyfor all your expertise and care of Peggy.

Welcome Babies
On Thursday night, Savannah, the pregnant mummy cat safely gave birth to three gorgeous kittens! 🐾✨
Savannah is being the most loving and attentive mum, and we are feeling incredibly grateful that she came into our care just in time. Knowing she and her babies are safe, warm, and supported is a relief.

Sinatra’s Second Chance 🌟
He walked out of a forest into our lives!

As a tiny foal, Sinatra was discovered in the forests of Welcome Bay, standing protectively over his mother who had sadly passed. As a frightened wee thing, he was brought into the care of RRR Rescue — and we promised him the happy ever after.

Nearly six years later, the terrified little foal has grown into a big-hearted character who LOVES people. Sinatra is the first to greet you in the paddock as if you’re an old friend. He has a playful streak — his favourite toy is a giant Swiss ball, and he’ll proudly show off his dribbling skills if you give him the chance!

With professional grazing and training at Pez Vela Sport Horses, Sinatra has learned that the world isn’t so scary after all. He loves heading out on treks with his horse buddies, splashing through water crossings like the brave boy he is. He trots beautifully and is working on building confidence in his canter.

Sinatra is a standardbred (though unbranded) standing at 15.2hh, He would suit a rider who loves hacking out, exploring trails, and laughing at the joyful antics of a horse with a goofy personality.
If you would like to adopt Sinatra, please PM our page and fill in a livestock foster application on our web page.

Sinatra
Professional schooling & trekking experience at Pez Vela Sport Horses
Good in company & confident through water
Walk to trot is great, canter still developing
Absolute character – loves playing with a giant Swiss ball!
Loads well onto a float.

PEGGY THE POUND PUP – READY FOR HER FOREVER HOME 🌸
Foster-to-Adopt or Adopt Applications Now Open
We are super excited to share that Peggy’s moment has finally come — this incredible young girl is ready to find her forever family! 💖

Peggy has lived a lifetime of challenges in just a few short months. She started life on the streets as a stray, spent time as a pound pup, was rescued, underwent leg amputation surgery, and has been recovering beautifully in a loving foster home. Now 5–6 months old, we feel Peggy has proven herself to be an amazing example of resilience, courage, and heart.

Despite everything she has been through, Peggy LOVES people. She has a huge drive to connect, learn, and be part of a family. She’s highly intelligent, quick to learn, and her sweet nature captures hearts everywhere she goes. She is the most loved dog!
Her foster mum recently took her into an op shop to help out for the morning — and Peggy was an absolute star! Calm, friendly, beautifully behaved, and soaking up every cuddle and smile.

Peggy has now started her professional dog training course with Neewood Pups Training and is also attending Thor’s Hydro Therapy to support her strength and mobility. This has been paid for from the kind donations of the public. We are seeking a home who is committed to continuing both as part of her journey —
we’ll happily talk through what that involves.

💗 Peggy’s perfect home:
Foster-to-adopt or adoptive home
Great with children
Loves toys and playing ball
Active home that enjoys walks and adventures
Ready to continue her training and hydro therapy
Someone who wants a loyal companion and best friend

Peggy is a cattle dog/blue heeler x, who may only have three legs, but she lives life with the joy, energy, and spirit of a dog who refuses to let anything hold her back. She is truly one in a million.
If you think Peggy might be the missing piece in your family —
📩 Please message us to apply or to discuss fostering-to-adopt.
We can’t wait to see Peggy find the loving forever home she deserves

Fosters required - we need you!
Community rescue work is not always glamorous. Sometimes it’s heartbreaking situations, and stepping into homes where people and animals are overwhelmed and struggling. Over the past few weeks, our team has been assisting with an extensive rehoming situation involving severe overcrowding — many pets and many people all trying to manage life inside a tiny two-bedroom unit All the animals have been loved and cared for however it cannot continue. The animals need to be rehomed so the humans can find a home;

This is where you can help. We are now almost at the finish line with this situation, and we are so proud of the progress made., however we still need help. We are urgently looking for a foster home for a sweet, cuddly 11-month-old girl who is pregnant.
She is affectionate, gentle, and desperate for a calm, safe space to bring her babies into the world. If you have ever thought about fostering — now is a perfect time. We provide support, guidance, and all essentials — you provide love and a safe space.

This situation also has two gorgeous 7-month-old Staffy/Bulldog x puppies who are full of love and looking for amazing permanent homes. These pups have so much potential and are ready to thrive with the right families. They are in a small amount of land and have to move on. Please send us a message Livvy's Pals if you can help. This is urgent!

Thank you to every foster, volunteer, donor and supporter. We see you. We appreciate you. We couldn’t do this without you.

🐾 Sanji — Searching for His Human (Tauranga, NZ)

Meet Sanji 💛
This handsome young lad is currently crashing at Neewood Pups, practicing his “good boy” manners, and very politely (…mostly) waiting for the human he can call his own. He’s got a big heart, a big future, and just needs the right person to help him make sense of this wild little planet we call Earth.

Sanji is equal parts goofy, clever, and cuddly. He LOVES his walks, LOVES his food, and LOVES being part of whatever you’re doing (yes, even if it’s boring — he insists). He’s still working on slowing his excited little brain down sometimes, but honestly? He’s trying. Truly. And he’s getting better every day.

💛 Sanji’s Dream Human Offers:
• Experience with strong, high-energy breeds
• A calm, structured home (no tiny humans or cats, please — he’s not ready for that chaos)
• Maybe a steady older dog who won’t be offended by his “teach me your ways” energy
• Gentle, patient introductions to the world — slow and steady wins Sanji’s heart
• Someone committed to helping him grow into the incredible dog you’ll be proud to show off

Sanji is a bull-breed mix who’ll grow into a strong, impressive boy — but underneath that soon-to-be muscle is a total softie who just wants to be someone’s “goodest boy.”

This isn’t a “first in, first served” adoption. We’re matchmaking for true love here. His next home will be foster-to-adopt or forever, with full support from Renee at Neewood Pups and the RRR team, so you’ll never be figuring things out alone.

If you’ve been waiting for a cheeky, hopeful, loyal companion who’s ready to give you his whole heart…
Sanji is waiting too. 💛🐶✨

💔 She’s Nothing but Skin and Bones… and Still She Chose to Love 💔

When we met her, this exhausted mama could barely lift her head. Her ribs pressed against her fragile skin, her body trembling from hunger and fatigue. She has given everything she had—again and again—bringing litter after litter into a world she could barely survive in herself.

This time… she has 11 pups depending on her.

And she is not alone. On this single property, a total of 20 dogs including the 11 puppies and puppies from the previous litter!

Today, we are their chance.

This mama is doing all she can—but she can’t do it alone anymore. She deserves more than a life of constant hunger, and constant breeding. Her puppies deserve a future where they know love, not survival.

We’ve stepped in, but the truth is…
We cannot save them without you.

We urgently need donations for:
• Food
• vet care
• Flea/tick treatment
• Puppy milk, supplies & vaccinations
• Safe fosters for immediate relocation

Every dollar makes an immediate difference.
Every share gives these dogs a louder voice.
Every act of kindness brings them one step closer to safety.

Please 🙏 if you’ve ever loved a dog, if you’ve ever wanted to change a life, this is the moment.
They need you now more than ever. Their lives depend on it.

Donate. Share. Help us give this mama and the dogs beside her the life they’ve been denied for far too long.

A little Angel for RRR rescue!
Little Angel was found wandering near Greerton School, tiny, hungry, and all alone. At just around six to seven weeks old, she is the definition of a cuddlebug — affectionate, gentle, and so smoochy that we’re convinced she must have belonged to someone. The caring person who found her has done everything right: they searched the area and advertised her widely, hoping her family would come forward. Sadly, no one has.

We are also wondering whether she has littermates still out there. A thorough search has been made, but so far, no luck.
This little girl purrs the moment she’s picked up, loves human company, and melts into your hands like she’s finally safe — and maybe she is.
Welcome little one.
