Sable is a quick learner sits on command, learning to wait for her food, doesn’t stray on walks.
She’s been socialised with other dogs, doesn’t show aggression, just wants to play.
Super snuggly and loves cuddles, definitely wants to be a lap dog.
She’s trained to be outside during the day, but comes inside and outside in the afternoon.
Has not nipped, growled or snapped at any other human (kids included) she just wants pats and love.
She has a great bark on her, will make an awesome guard dog due to being vocal on someone’s arrival.
She is great on lead and off and is learning to sit before crossing the road at the moment, my dog Hank is helping with that as she follows his command too.
Sable needs a home with no Cats or small animals .
She does know her name as Sable and responds to it well.

🐾FOSTERING - All needs are covered by us whilst in foster, we just need you to help her have the best chance at a fresh start.

Little update on Athena 🐶
🐾
Athena was picked up yesterday from a property in Onekawa she had seeked refuse in a property where two other Dogs resided.
The home owners called the pound around 2ish they respond to the call and instantly the dog was identified as Athena.
She was an easy catch as she put her trust in the Dogs and when they went for a pat so did she (whew)
When I picked her up I could see she was still very scared but not growly like the day before. Was alittle work to entice her out of the car but eventually she came .
She now is settling into a foster home where she is doing so well and being very much doted over by her foster Dad.
Thank you so much Matt who without you she would be still in the Pound ❤️

I would also like to thank everyone for all your shares and sightings to help bring Athena home 🏡❤️

13/11/2024

UPDATE - ATHENA HAS BEEN FOUND 🥳🥳

SIGHTING LUNCHTIME TODAY HEADING DOWN KENNEDY RD TOWARDS TARADALE

MISSING - AROUND EDMUNDSON STREET ONEKAWA INDUSTRIAL

UPDATE - ATHENA HAS ESCAPED THE PROPERTY, IF YOU COME ACROSS HER PLEASE CALL NAPIER POUND.

Update - Have been given till tomorrow Friday to find somewhere for Athena to go 🙏

Urgently Needing an experienced foster Home for a 12 month old by tomorrow 🙏
🐾
Meet Athena 🐶
Staffy/X, Female, 12 months old .

She will need somewhere new to decompress in a quiet home with either no children or older children, no Cats and high fencing. Athena has alittle anxiety but normally settles quickly, she also has separation anxiety so someone home alot .
🐾
Athena has been in rescue since September while waiting for her forever home.
I have previously transported her between the Pound, her foster home and kennels with absolutely no issues. However, things took a turn this morning while moving to another foster. She became extremely scared, which caused her to growl, nippy and even p**p herself. She has been very distant ever since.
🐾
Do not know what this girl's life has been before coming into Rescue but she needs help and deserves a second chance.
🐾
If you would be interested in helping Athena and fostering her please get in contact with us.

Thank you everyone for all your msgds for Ellie ❤️
We have decided with her previous foster Mum on board to bring her back into Rescue to get her Speyed and ready for rehoming.

💔Ellie was one of our Napier Pound Pup Rescues back in July, she was adopted but thru no fault of hers she's needing a new home ASAP💔
🐾
Meet Ellie
🐾
She is 7 months old, her breed is Staffy/x.
She is Registered, Microchipped and had her Vaccinations.
🐾
Bio from Ellie's Mum 🐶
Ellie is a really good pup - she trains well is very treat orientated and listens well.
She knows sit, wait, paw, down. (Working on leave)
She will wait to be released for her food wait to come in to the house, she is fully trained for toileting and for us she will tap on the cat door to let us know she needs to go out.
She is crate trained and has just moved in to the larger crate but goes in it for quiet/calm time and sleeps in it thru the night without any hassles (a few treats to go in is all that is needed) .
She has puppy energy but that’s all, she has improved immensely on her jumping up at people and on her baby shark teeth attacks- this is what makes it a tough decision as she really is a good pup but we have to put our other animals first I think we just left it a bit to long for our older boy whose not tolerating having a young Pup around.
🐾
She will come with everything we have for her plus happy to provide 3 months of food and flea and worm treatment to make sure she gets the best start.
She hasn’t been speyed because the vet said they wanted her to have her first heat before doing that but we are also happy to cover the cost of this as it is our burden and again we want to make sure she has the best opportunity.
🐾
She is really thriving health wise we hope we have at least given her that she just wants to be loved and is very loving.
She isn’t terrible with the cat but will still chase him we are constantly trying to work on this, she is getting better at ignoring him but instincts are there.
🐾
If you are interested in adopting Ellie , please send us a message with a little bout your Home and family and I will pass on to Ellie's Mum ❤️

💕Much appreciated post to Kate and her partner Dan at Kates Canine Cadets , who since December 23 had a idea of how to help Pound Pooches get some much needed funds to continue Rescuing Pound Dogs .
🐾
"Dan and I have had an idea..we're going to do
a charity 2025 calendar, featuring your dogs!
Every dog that stays (unless the owners don't
want them to) will have the chance to be voted
for by you to go into the calendar! This month
I'Il be posting a few photos at a time of all my
December cadets, the top 5 will then be
shortlisted to be the December dogs for the
calendar! (If we do next years December dogs,I
won't get the calendars printed in time).
We will do this every month throughout 2024. If
your dog overlaps their holiday from one month
to the next, well then they have two chances to win!
All proceeds will be going to help Christine
Batista's rescue PPHB and foster dogs here in Hawkes Bay.
🐾
The calendars are now ready to purchase, if you could be interested in purchasing one please get in touch with Kate's Canine Cadets 🐕

Archie from Pound Pooches would like to thank everybody who has purchased their calendars already, and remind you that it's not too late to order one!

💕Coco is ready and looking for her forever family 💕
Coco is being fostered in Taupo, can easily be bought to HB if you are interested in adopting her 😊
🐾
Meet our girl Coco 🐾
🐾
Coco is a 6 month old Shepherd/cross.
🐾
She's had her Vaccinations, Desexed, Registered, Microchipped, flead & Wormed.
🐾
Well what can we say about little Coco apart from the fact she is a absolute sweetheart. She spent the first 4 months of her life at the pound so when we took her in for fostering I had concerns on how she would adapt to a home environment filled with other animals and humans...that girl walked through the door like she had spent her whole life here.
She spent the 1st hour zooming around the garden with my Mastiff X.
She spent the 1st night and every night since snuggled up with the other dogs.
She is great with our cats.
Coco is so smart and ready for her new humans to further her training, she took a whole 3 minutes to learn sit and wait.
She is very food motivated and will do anything for a treat.
She walks beautifully on lead and her recall is improving daily.
She is a snuggle bunny and loves nothing more than a good human cuddle.
She would be a amazing addition to someone's family. We will miss you little one 💕
🐾
If you are interested in giving Coco a forever home, we would love to hear from you ♥🏠🐶

🐾
Meet - Amber 🐶
S*x - Female
Breed - Sharpei/Staffy/X
Age - 8 months
Amber is fully Vaccinated, Speyed, Registered, Microchipped, Flead and Wormed.
🐾
Amber is such a sweetheart, she can be a little reserved at first but once you have her trust she will be your best buddy.
Amber loves cuddles and lots of love. She would be wonderfully suited to a kind family or single person that could make her their special new family member.
She has been living with cats and other dogs and is social, careful and inquisitive with new animals.
She just needs her own special someone to help her keep thriving.
🐾
If you are interested in giving one Amber a forever home, we would love to hear from you ♥🏠🐶

Wow we have had such a huge response to our post for donations towards our Vet accounts and care of the Dogs.
We honestly can not thank you all enough for your on going Support and beautiful words of encouragement and Donations 💕
Honestly words just can’t say enough and we truly are grateful 🥰 thank you.

📣 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲📣
I am reaching out to ask for your assistance during this challenging time for our Rescue . We currently have a negative balance as last month alone our vet bill was $2200.

The financial strain is making it difficult for us to stay afloat, pay essential bills, and continue providing for the animals in our care on a daily basis.
Over the last week we have taken in 13 Pups and 1 Dog from the local pound.

Your generosity would not only help us overcome our immediate financial challenges but also allow us to continue Rescuing.

Your support would mean the world to us and the animals who depend on our care. Below are our account details

Account Number: 03-1753-0170308-000
C.Batista (PPHB)

Thank you for considering our plea and for your continuous support. Together, we can make a difference and give these animals a second chance at a happy and healthy life.

Below is copy of last month vet bills. Thank you for all your support ❤️
