I’ll tell you why I’m such a grinch at Xmas!! “Can you take our two 8 month old brothers, we want more time for freedom and relaxation” “Can you take my dog I’ve had for 3 years I’m moving overseas” “can you take my dog, he’s too reactive and the council will put him down” “can you take 7 puppies” “can you take 3 dogs my son left behind” “ can you take a dog I found on the street” “can I drop two dogs off I don’t want them anymore” “my dog is pregnant again” “I didn’t go to the desexing appointment you made and paid for now I have 13 puppies when can I drop them off” “if you don’t take this dog I’ll shoot it” “I’ve got 9 teenage puppies that are all fighting and hungry where shall I take them” “my dog is not good around chickens so I’m euthanising her” “our mum passed away and no one wants her lifelong companions so we are euthanising them” “I can’t afford to spend money on a trainer to teach me how to be a better dog person because I’ve just got back from an overseas holiday so I’ll euthanise her”and the classic opening line, “it is with the heaviest of hearts…..”

A dog is for life, they are not a commodity you can pass around and euthanise when things get tough and you can no longer be bothered. Desex your frikkin dogs, put yourself out, we are their guardians, they are loyal and loving and will stand by us no matter what, a lot of people could learn a lot from dogs. Grow the hell up and take some responsibility. Tania

Can someone pleeeeeeeese help us sort out our spouting in Kumeū!! We use a huge amount of water keeping the puppy and dog enclosures clean and hygenic as well as the puppies who love to run through all their 💩 We had a supposed qualified tradie leave us with a bit of a mess and will no longer return my calls or messages and I even gave him beer and pizza!!! I’m doing huuuuuge amounts of work trying to get the property set up so this is a real bu**er. Went to clean the gutters this morning and found this gutter doesn’t have a hole into down pipe!!
😂😂😂
We would love to have you work alongside us helping continue the work we do as volunteers, saving lives, making changes. Much love and frustration, Tania xx

Say hello to Gus, a little black Labrador Catahoula cross with a heart as big as his soulful eyes. This sweet, sensitive pup may seem laid-back at first glance, but don’t be fooled—Gus is a clever little fellow with a knack for learning fast. At just a few weeks old, Gus has already mastered the basics. He’s learning to "sit," go "outside," and "go wees," picking up each command with surprising ease.

I want to thank all our amazing families, volunteers and our team for making a truly fantastic event and Kumeu Rotary Christmas Parade for such a fun well organised parade. (We must have missed judging as we didn’t receive our award 😂)Everyone looked fantastic and I was so proud of our doggies. As a small rescue we have achieved so much and last night made me so proud and so humbled with all the support and love our families and the community show us. So from myself, Sarah Maxwell White, Patricia Da Silva and our team we thank you and wish you peace and joy over the crazy season. As much as Anthony and Janet from Mulch King don’t like to be publicly acknowledged, this whole float was built by them, decorated by Janet and they are our main sponsors so saying thank you never seems enough but thank you both for all you do. Thank you to Bailey, Aiden, Scarlett, Kelly, Kehan, Aysha and Fleur who still help their mums out with the rescue.
Don’t forget to get your mulch down to keep the weeds suppressed and the moisture locked in from Mulch King.

Much love and Christmas joy from The Grinch (Tania), Sarah, and Patricia ###
