After the tragedy last week, so much grief and sadness; the Hub turned to our furbabies to get us through the darkest times 🥹
We want you to meet some of our gorgeous souls - some who are ready for adoption, some who are not quite ready (with an update on beautiful Crowley), and also our beloved Hub cadets - furbabies who help and support the new pups that come through - who work, educate and nurture the new souls that come under the Hub 🥰
Soak up their smoochy vibes here and if you want to connect with one of these gorgeous souls:

Whānau - our hearts are heavy & hurting at the Hub, as our OG Watson crossed the rainbow bridge on Tuesday. 💔
Rescued by Saving Hope Foundation & brought to our Hub founder Tammy a year ago, Watson beat the parvo odds - the only survivor of his litter. In foster care for a year, Watson found his way to a wonderfully loving long term foster home under the care of John, where he thrived. Watson was adored by humans, fellow dogs & kitty's too! He was in his element & was potentially on the road to finding his furever home after a gorgeous meet & greet just last Sunday.
Life just isn't fair.
You see, Watson wasn't just a gorgeous old soul, he was extremely intelligent, & potentially that big brain got the better of him. It's the hardest thing to try to find any light at the end of the tunnel with his passing. But I like to think that Watson went the way he wanted - he was in charge & he was doing what Watson wanted to do. He marched to the beat of his own drum, he lived his way, & with so much swag. He wanted to explore, & that he did.
They say things happen for a reason, but I can't see or make sense why Watson was taken far too soon. He had so much to give - so much heart, so much love, so much Watson! Maybe that's the legacy he leaves behind - the resilience he had, even with his terrible start to life; he had this ability to seize the opportunity & rocket forward with such zest and love for everyone and everything - that is something we should all be striving for.
So this Waitangi Day, we cried & we grieved. & now we remember, we reflect, we reset - & power forward with positivity & verve - that's the Watson way. From Tammy, who is hurting & grieving terribly right now, "Please hug your babies tight & send a heavenly hug to Watson - one of the most courageous, strong & old soul dogs that I have met in a very long time. He is loved, he is cherished, he is with us in soul."
Our hearts are with Tammy and John during this saddest of times. Please send them s

We have felt every sad and angry emotion here at the Hub these last few days 💔, but we NEVER forget or lose sight of our mission, or our current beauties who are on the look out for their loving furever homes ❤
We have two lil stunners who are more than ready for adoption!
Both Alice and Ruby have just been weaned off milk and are taking to that as champs! They are both microchipped, wormed, flead and vaccinated - as we said, they are totes ready for their next epic adventure! They are currently fostered in Palmerston North with many fur-siblings, including dogs - Ruby is still a lil scared of the puppo's, but Alice is pretty good 🥰 Of course - you MUST ensure the right intro's are done to ensure harmony for all 😍
LOVING these wee vibes UNCONDITIONALLY is a MUST, so ONLY the loving & most patient hooman's need apply for them! If you fit this category, and you’re interested in learning more about any of them, DM us direct or email [email protected]
And PLEASE only apply if you are ready to commit and work alongside the the kitty with love and patience during their transitional phase - following the general 3:3:3 rule:
🐾 3 days = to decompress
🐾 3 weeks = to learn your routine
🐾 3 months = to start to feel at home
Adopting a furbaby IS FOR LIFE, so let’s work together to make furever & lasting connections for these gorgeous felines! 🥰
Come on whānau - share them out!

💖💖💖💖💖 pupdate!!
We asked for help and help you have!! Thankyou to everyone who reached out and filled in forms - we now have a place for Clio and her foster folks can have a much needed break, knowing she is in good hands.
Thankyou for being part of our amazing village 🫶✨️💖
📢📢 URGENT - SHORT TERM BABYSITTER REQUIRED!!! 📢📢
One of our fosterers is heading away, and so our sweet baby Clio needs a short term fosterer from 16-26 January - whānau, can any of you step in to foster for these 11 days please? She is currently fostered in Paraparaumu, so around this area or Wellington or Palmy North will work too 🥰
Clio is honestly a little cherub and low maintenance! From her loving foster mama Tracy, "Clio is a loving 6 month old puppy and loves a tummy rub and a cuddle on your knee. She loves children and catching ball. She has a beautiful temperament and is an intelligent little cookie!" 😎
If you can open your home from 16-26 January, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get in touch! You can PM us direct, or apply to foster her here: https://form.jotform.com/231208330711846?fbclid=IwAR2IWgVrr1-mwqrP5aIxcZgqLw98cBbdL08wQ7RdEFBpXVgxBooHYv6wgcM
Only for a short time only, food and bedding supplied! We will need to get a sense of how her day will look like with you and ensure that she sleeps indoors like the rest of the whānau! 🥰
PLEASE share this out as the dates are right around the corner!

❤❤❤ KIA ORA to the BEAUTIFUL Murphy whānau! ❤❤❤
We just received our most gorgeous gift yet that will greatly benefit the Hub furbabies through the months ahead!!! 🐾
Liz and Chris, along with their sweetest rescue dog Molly decorated their home with Christmas lights this year, entering the Professionals Christmas lights competition! Much to the delight of families in Palmy North, they've been doing this for the past 21 years, and always do a donation bucket each time to a different charity or non profit organisation. And this year, the Hub was their focus 🥹
Through their efforts, they raised $455.00 for animals under our care and community animals in need, and we are so incredibly appreciative and humbled by their gorgeous efforts - tears of joy in fact!!! 🥲🥹😭
Check out their wonderful video here of their Christmas lights extravaganza! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgCjkwlUGGo
When we get faced with the bad side of rescue on the daily, we are always keen to see and hear from the amazing group of animal lovers who are out there and truly making a difference ❤
So much love to you Liz, Chris and Molly - we are eternally grateful for your focus on animal rescue! We needed you, the animals needed you - aroha nui Murphy family -words are just not enough ❤😭❤
Enjoy a restful Sunday whānau

The story of Charlie Brown finding his Snoopy is just so wholesome 🥹 And you know, all of us who have had the privilege of adopting a furbaby understands the completeness, the warmth and the unconditional love you feel when the love connection is made between animal and human (and I only mean the good humans here of course!)
Our pups under the Hub wings are divine, and all sit under the rescues All Paws Count Murupara Trust Saving Hope Foundation, [email protected], and of course us @Animal Fostering Hub NZ! They all have a unique story to share - some are chilled, some have their quirks, and some have only just learnt that there are some loving humans in the world. Our pups have been with us from a couple of months, to some who are unfortunately still looking for their furever for nearly a year 😭 But all have one thing in common - an abundance of love to give ❤
If you or someone you know are looking for their own Snoopy, please share out this post in the hopes that these babies get their furever! OR just simply support and share this post, because like Charlie Brown experienced, you can find love when you least expect it from a soul that you hadn't even considered 🥹

Sweet Athena is still looking for a job... or furever home!!! Check out her new profile - she busted her ass to update - we think she's done a great job given she is only 14mths old!
Note that if you fall in love with this intelligent husky X black lab baby, she has some conditions, because she is all brain:
🐶 She needs an active home OR have a job! SO if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone in the air force or search & rescue or.... PLEASE SHARE, as Athena would be GOLD in this!
🐶 High fencing - she can be an egg 🥚
🐶 Hoomans at home OR fur-siblings!
She's also fine with cats 🐱, but of course will chase if they run, and she barks at men, but calms down quickly 🥹
We want Athena to find her furever, she deserves so much more than what's been handed to her - and 4.5 months in foster care is FAR TOO LONG!!! 😭
LOVING Athena UNCONDITIONALLY is a MUST, so ONLY the loving & most patient hooman's need apply for this positive bubble! 🥰
If you fit this category, and you’re interested in learning more about her, then DM us!

Athena has expressed to us her desire to use her big brain more, so we've told her to get a job! She's proactive and already set up her Linkedin profile - not bad for a rookie wanting to leave the nest to reach her full potential! 🥹
BUT WE DO NEED YOUR HELP WHĀNAU!
We think Athena would excel in the world of search & rescue, agility, sniffer, airforce police... so if ANY OF YOU have a contact, can you please let us know as we would love Athena to apply!!! OR if you do a bit of search work yourself, do get in contact! Or if you are UBER active, we'd like to hear from you too! We want this baby girl well looked after whilst working for her money - making her new whānau so proud of her! 🥹

📢 ADOPTED - LOVE FOR LIFE!!! 📢
Sweet Alisdair, now named Franky has been successfully adopted by one of our lovely fosterers Katie... well actually let's call this a foster fail 🤗
From his new loving mama, "Tammy was great help in finding a selection of pups that would suit our little out of the norm family which helped enormously. Once I viewed a wee clip of Foster dad Chris with Franky aka Alisdair and saw his sweet face (and kinda cheeky too!) I fell in love 😍. Knowing his background in past foster care helped too, as he had been in a home with a family member with different needs. Also Franky has some separation anxiety so because I am home taking care of my son, it makes us the perfect match! Franky is a dream - polite, and knows boundaries with my disabled adult son, and his stubborn streak matches the rest of his new family members 🤣 I am grateful with the fostering and rescue hub for giving me the chance to open up my home and heart to such a special boy." ❤️
Awww very misty eyed at the hub, as Franky (as well as his siblings) have all been in foster care for months now, but we knew that with patience, this dude's home was around the corner! We hear he is settling in well, and bonded straight away with his new brother Ben! 😘
Of course, this furever connection was made possible with the love and guidance from Franky's former foster families - first with Suzen, and then with Chris! These two amazing individuals who were there for Franky throughout his fostering time - taught him how to dog, how to love life, and how to let his personality shine! They fell in love with Franky too and his charming ways, and couldn't be more proud and happy for this special wee guy!
Master Franky - the Hub are so proud that you now have a whānau who will love you unconditionally! You've been a wee star, such a gentle soul who will just keep shining bright in this beautiful home! You be YOU Franky, be there for your new Mama and brother, teach each o
❤🐶 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DOG DAY!!! 🐶❤
To all the beautiful puppo's out there - you are ALL AMAZING and we salute you for all the magical feels you bring into our lives!!!
Hoomans - do a lil something special for them this week, go that extra mile in planning, smother them even more with additional kisses and cuddles - just make them all feel goddamn special and loved!
From the gorgeous souls under our care to yours - Happy International Dog Day! 🥲
Share your puppo's here and show how you made them feel like they are Kings and Queens!
