PEACHES IS LOOKING FOR WALKERS 🐾

Peaches is currently in foster care near the Pony Club in Papamoa. Her foster is absolutely amazing and has been caring for her for all these months, but she works full time, which means Peaches relies on our wonderful little crew of volunteer walkers to get out, exercise, explore and get the stimulation she deserves.

Our original crew has been helping us for months, but six months is a long time and understandably people have work, families and other commitments. We now have some gaps in the roster that we really need help filling.

So, we’re looking for a few more people to join Team Peaches ❤️

If you have experience with dogs, enjoy walking and have some spare time that you’d like to dedicate to a good cause, we would love to hear from you. We will give you all the information, tools and guidance you need to walk Peaches safely and confidently.

What we really need are people who can commit to a regular weekly walk, rather than a one-off walk, and continue helping until Peaches finally finds her forever home. Even one walk a week makes a huge difference when we have several people sharing the load.

We’re doing our absolute best for this girl, but we never imagined we would still be doing this six months later. If you can give Peaches an hour or two of your week, please send us a message.

And if you can’t walk her, sharing this post might help us find someone who can 💕

Looking for a loyal best friend with a big personality, endless affection and a few hilarious quirks? Meet Peaches! 🐾

Peaches is a beautiful 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog x Border Collie who has been patiently waiting for someone to call her their own.

Her story began when she was found abandoned, pregnant and alone in the bush. She was brought to Pāpāmoa and safely gave birth to eight beautiful puppies. All her babies have found their forever families, and now it's Mum's turn! ❤️

🌊 A little about Peaches

This little dolphin LOVES swimming in the ocean, rolling around in the grass and sand (once is never enough!), exploring new places and curling up on the couch for a well-deserved snooze.

She's clever, energetic, playful and incredibly sweet once she gets to know you. She's also a loyal little shadow who loves being close to her favourite humans.

🏡 Peaches' dream home

🐾 An active household with people who enjoy daily walks, adventures and spending quality time with their dog.

🐕 A friendly male dog could be a wonderful companion, although she'd also be perfectly happy being your one and only princess!

🏡 Secure, tall fencing and a home where she won't be left alone for more than 4–5 hours at a time.

🦴 Someone who understands and appreciates working breeds and their intelligence.

❤️ Adults or families with teenagers.

📍 Pāpāmoa or nearby Tauranga areas only, so her ongoing training and support can continue.

Peaches is desexed, and her new family will receive FREE ongoing training, guidance and support from Roma Dog Behaviour Academy.

💕 Why is she still waiting?

We wish we knew! Peaches has so much love to give, but she needs someone who sees beyond a pretty face and understands her wonderful, sometimes quirky personality.

She could be the most loyal, loving and entertaining companion they could ever wish for.

💌 Please send me a message if you'd like to meet Peaches, and SHARE her story. Her person might be just one share away!

🎆🐾 GUY FAWKES: FREE MICROCHIP SCANNING SERVICE 🐾🎆

We all know what a terrible night it can be for our pets, and hopefully, everyone will keep their animals safely indoors.
But unfortunately, every year dogs and cats get frightened by fireworks, escape and end up lost.

So, just like last year, a wonderful group of animal-loving volunteers has come together to offer a FREE microchip scanning service across Tauranga and surrounding areas on Guy Fawkes night, from 7pm until midnight! ❤️

🐾 FOUND A LOST DOG OR CAT?
Contact one of the volunteers listed below or comment on this post, and we'll do our best to connect you with the closest available scanner.

Depending on their location and availability, volunteers may be able to come to you or arrange for you to bring the animal to them. By scanning the microchip and checking the New Zealand Companion Animal Register (NZCAR), we hope to reunite lost pets with their families as quickly as possible!
Make sure your pet is registered in the New Zealand Companion Animal Register

📍 OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS

❤️ A huge THANK YOU to these wonderful volunteers who are generously giving up their evening to help animals in our community. Last year, we helped reunite many lost pets with their families, and we're hoping to do the same again this year!

Of course, the best outcome would be not having any lost pets at all. Please keep your animals safely indoors, make sure their microchip registration details on the NZCAR are up to date, and prepare ahead if your pet is frightened by fireworks.

🧜‍♀️🍑 Is she a dog? Is she a dolphin? Is she a mermaid? NO! It’s PEACHES! 🐬🤣

In my six years working with dogs in Pāpāmoa, I have NEVER seen a dog swim like this in the ocean!

And I don’t mean going in for a quick splash or chasing a ball. I mean voluntarily heading into the ocean, swimming around for ages, and enjoying every second of it! 🌊😍

She jumps like a dolphin, swims like a little mermaid, and looks like she was born in the ocean.

If you love the beach, enjoy long walks along the coast and a good swim in the ocean? Well, your perfect beach buddy is right here, waiting for you!

Now, can someone PLEASE adopt this beautiful little sea creature? 🥹🐬🍑

‘Is that Peaches?’ 😍

Today I took Miss Peaches Meaches McDolphin 🐬 to the beach for a good run around, followed by a trip to the dog wash for some pampering and, of course, to choose her own treats! 💜

She chose a pig snoot, a pig ear AND a cow ear. Lucky girl! 🤣

Just as we were about to start her bath, two lovely ladies approached us and asked, ‘Is that Peaches?’ 😍

We had a lovely chat, and before they left, I asked if we’d met or spoken before. They said no, they just recognised her from all the posts they’ve seen about her! 🥹❤️

Well, well, well… she is a LOCAL ICON!
She added a new surname: Miss Peaches Meaches McDolphin Famouselli (or Celebritini?) 🤣🤣🤣

Our little girl is getting recognised out in public!

Come on now, surely her forever family is just around the corner. I can feel it! 🙏💜🍑
