🚨PARVOVIRUS!!!🚨

To everyones horror we are again dealing with a new surge of Canine Parvovirus in Christchurch, and our area is also affected. As a responsible dog owner, it's essential to ensure your pet is protected against this highly contagious and life-threatening disease.

Parvovirus affects dogs of all ages, but puppies under 6 months are most susceptible. However 3 of the dogs seen in our clinic in the last week have been 9 months old and one was 13 years old.
The virus is shed in the faeces of infected dogs and can survive in the environment for extended periods long after the infected dog is no longer there.

Symptoms of Parvovirus include:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Fever
- Lethargy
- Loss of appetite
Sadly not all dogs survive this awful disease 😢

Check your dogs vaccination books or give us a call if you need us to check their vaccine status.

Stay safe Paw-some pals!

Wellington/Kapiti Coast people, can you help Loki find a home 🐾

+++COMMUNITY REHOME+++ Kapiti Coast.

We have not met Loki but have been asked to help find him a new home.
Please contact his owner for more information.
Here is what they say about Loki

An approved home ONLY

Meet Loki: A Lovable Gentle Giant Looking for His Forever Home! Loki is a 7 year old desexed American bulldog and currently living in Waikanae🌟

Loki is a big-hearted boy in need of a loving home due to no fault of his own. His current foster home can no longer keep him long-term, so we’re looking for the perfect family who can offer him the love and stability he deserves.

Important Info:
🔹 Ideal Home: Adult-only household.
🔹 No Cats or Small Dogs: Loki isn’t a fan of cats (in fact, he thinks they’re chase-worthy) and prefers to be the only pet when it comes to smaller dogs. He’s done well with bigger dogs once he’s had time to get to know them!

What Loki Loves:
🌟 Leisurely Walks: He walks well on a lead, and while he enjoys an off-lead romp, he does need some precautions around other dogs.
🌟 Chill Vibes: Loki is the ultimate couch companion! He loves to sleep, nap, and just hang out at home.
🌟 Car Rides: Loki’s a fan of car trips—whether it’s a quick drive or a longer journey, he’s always up for a ride!
🌟 Independent Sleeper: He enjoys his own bed and settles down well at night.

What You Should Know About Loki:
💚 Occasional Bark/Grumble: Loki barks and growls from time to time, but it’s very infrequent—mostly just when he’s excited or trying to communicate.
💚 A Leg That Needs TLC: Loki has a sore leg that can sometimes cause him to limp after running or playing too hard, but with a little rest, he’s perfectly fine! There are no ongoing health issues—just the occasional tweak when he overdoes it.
💚 A Gentle Giant: Despite his size, Loki doesn't actually eat much compared to what you’d expect for a dog of his stature!

The Right Home for Loki:
Loki is looking for a home where he can be loved and treated like the giant teddy bear he truly is. He’s calm, affectionate, and easygoing—perfect for someone who enjoys a chill lifestyle with the occasional gentle walk or car ride. Loki would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home where he can be the only pet.

If you think you could offer Loki the love and care he deserves, please reach out! He’s ready to find his forever family and will be forever grateful for a warm, loving home. ❤️ Contact Janie 0275044835 for more info.

Mr & Mrs March – Archer & Misty ❤

This years calendar has a slightly different theme, with the majority of the dogs greeting you each month already being rehomed, but never having made it into previous calendars. Each month we will let you know a bit about each dog 🐾

These 2 stunners were adopted to the same home 8 years apart ❤

Misty came to our care from the North Island back in August 2016, she was around 4 years old at the time, had had multiple litters, little to no training but just wanted to be with people & please them.

One of our trainers family member was looking for another dog to join her family, along with her current dog Bono. Bono & Misty were best of mates for 7 years before Bono passed away at the start of 2024.

When Bono passed away Misty missed having dog company, so they got back in touch to see who would be a good match for Misty, & they met Archer who was an energetic 2.5 year old. Archer came to us from the Christchurch Pound, he was collected from Riccarton & no one came to claim him. He found the rescue quite stressful & could be untrusting of people until he had built up some trust. Once he settled & we could see his fun, cheeky personality, we knew he would be a great match for Misty.

They have lived together for a year now & we love hearing updates on these 2 lovely CBBR adoptees 🥰

Alice update - Alice has continued to improve & gain strength over the last few days! It’s crazy how many times we are excited about a good poo in the rescue but hers have definitely been celebrated!
She’s even managed to charm her foster brother who usually isn’t too fond of his foster puppy housemates.
Onwards & upwards sweet girl ❤️💩❤️

Well if the last few days aren't a reminder that winter is on its way, I'm not sure what is 🌧

Our lovely supporter has donated us a load of firewood again this year to help raise some much needed funds ❤️

Purchase our CBBR Special Paper & go into the draw to win a trailer load of firewood - ready to burn this winter! The wood is a mixture of pine & willow, there is approx 3 cubic metres & we will deliver to the lucky winner within the Christchurch/Kaiapoi/Rangiora area, at a time convenient to both parties - link in the comments

In & out! ❤️ This gorgeous little pocket rocket Torvi is 15kg of pure muscle & love! She arrived a few weeks ago with our trucker hero Morgan from a North Island pound. Pretty sure he would have dog napped her on the spot if he could, she’s just that lovely!
Torvi is what we call in rescue, a unicorn. The type of dog that we all go “how the #¥£! did you end up here?” and that we could rehome 100x over. We quickly matched her with a family that was ready & waiting on our books & then they all lived happily ever after. The end! ❤️

Another weird & wonderful rescue for CBBR. Yesterday we gathered a team & headed down to the CCC Stock pound yard to catch & load 2 very skittish unclaimed sheep into our trailer. Animal Management find all sorts of unclaimed animals - goats, sheep, pigs. It doesn’t happen too often so while the stock paddock is empty, the council kindly allow us to use it to exercise our dogs. After 2 weeks of no one coming forward to claim these girls, our dogs were itching to run free in the paddock. We contacted our friends at The Good Cow to see if they’d take on some fleecy friends & they were happy to oblige. Here they are today freshly shorn & hanging out with our goat mate who was in exactly the same situation a few months ago. Happy sheep and happy dogs!
Everyone wins ❤️🐑🐶❤️

New arrival - Yesterday we took over the care of wee Alice. She’s 5 weeks old & has a really nasty case of campylobacter along with a severe worm burden.
Thank you to the kind person who has been caring for her and her littermates until now, and to McMaster & Heap Veterinary Practice for contacting us & helping to save this wee mite. She spent the day yesterday receiving intensive hospital care & it really was 50/50 as to whether she’d make it for a while there.
She is now in the care of one of our amazing foster team who also happens to be a vet - couldn’t ask for better round the clock care - Alice is a very lucky girl.
Any help towards Alices cost would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Adopt me - Reggie 💙
Reggie is the sweetest boy you could find! He is in foster care rurally with another dog, a barn cat & young children that come to visit.
He is an American Bulldog cross & is just under a year old, so still has a bit of growing to do.
He hasn’t had a lot of good house manners taught to him, but he is picking everything up so quickly in his foster home. He is wonderful on lead, great with all dogs he has met & is easily cat trainable. He will make a wonderful addition to any family.
He is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, registered & like all our dogs, destined to be a family dog that sleeps indoors with the rest of the family.
Could that family be yours?

Our wee deaf boy Olaf is doing amazing in his foster home, learning all about living in a multi dog home, as well as learning hand signals.

Olafs foster had never had a deaf dog before, but were up for the challenge - they are learning a lot of new skills at the same time as Olaf is, both are nailing it 😍

They were having some issues getting the cat integration going well. So we did a trip to the fosters home to show them the best way to get some good rules & boundaries in place with a deaf dog who wants to hassle the resident cat. The difference in his behaviour around the cat after putting some management in place has been fantastic, this boy just wants to please people & get treats! We are sure him & the cat will be besties in no time!

Adopt me 🩷- Pinky
This boy is such a beautiful transformation. He was found dumped in the bush by a hunter & his dogs. He nursed him back to health & sent him to us to start his new beginning. Watching this happy face gain weight, his coat regrow & begin to shine - all while having the biggest goofiest smile & zest for life has been an absolute pleasure for our team of volunteers. He is the sweetest gentleman who's just so full of love.
He's now in foster care brushing up on his house skills. He's loving life, going for runs, going to work & really thriving. He is ready and waiting for his forever person to indroduce him to his happily ever after.

Its high time to give you an update on lovely Lilly, who we introduced a few weeks ago.

She has settled beautifully in her foster home & enjoys walks on the beach, cuddles, & watching the bumble bees. She is even a fan of all the vets she has met because they have great treats every time she visits. She got her vaccinations & was spayed last week. No more unwanted babies for this baby!

After several consultations with the specialists a decision was made to amputate Lillys useless leg. While it is not the outcome we were hoping for, it will be the one with the least amount of pain & post-OP confinement for Lilly.

If you would like to support us to support Lilly in her journey, you can sign up for weekly personalised emails & pictures for just $20 per week www.chchbullbreedrescue.org.nz/Adopt/Virtual-Pot-Luck/

We are also grateful for one-off donations towards this girl's care.
