🐶 Handsome Kai is your guy!!!! 🐶 Location: Palmerston North Remember a 7 weeks old pound pup we called "Kaizer"? The one who was badly affected by ringworm? Well, here he is in all his glory - a 7 month old Beardie X Staffy, now called Kai! From his loving foster dad Chris: "Kai has been with us since early May. He has a quiet nature and is a very unassuming pup - inquisitive, curious; a pup simply discovering our world! This boy is very clever and a quick learner. He has so much potential in endless areas yet to be explored. Physically, Kai is light and lean, long limbed pup. He is food motivated which allows for easier teaching/training of basic skills. Kai is crate trained and will take himself to his crate for a rest/ break from the pack or a nap. He is the youngest and lightest pup in the pack, which is normally 5 dogs - 3 females, 2 males and is regularly expanded by 2 older females. Kai interacts with all of them really well. Kai knows the commands: Sit, auto sit when on a lead, here, touch (nose to right hand), shake (both paws). Working on recall, and wait/stay and down. Kai is toilet trained and will use training pads if caught short inside. Overall, Kai is a genuinely good puppy with plenty of potential and will suit any home and lifestyle within a pack, or on his own. A good first pet for inexperienced or first time dog owners!" Fully vaccinated, regularly worm/lea treated, microchipped & Companion Animal NZ registered, will be neutered prior to adoption. This handsome guy has so much love to give, and we really hope we can find Kai his forever home so he can share it with YOU!

Today's Rescue Immediate Foster or Foster to Adopt NEEDED!!! With no time to catch my breath, or do a very much needed cleaning, or go through backed up paperwork, or write posts to advertise our rescue animals for adoption, I just could not turn down 3 pups whose destiny was to be donked on the head like the rest of their litter mates. One of our volunteers allerted me yesterday with the sad reality of these pups. Previously, I have heard the stories about the pup's owner, who currently has 8 dogs, not long ago there were 11. Most of the dogs are chained up, neglected and malnourished. None of the dogs on the property are desexed! SPCA were called to the property several times, but sadly nothing much has changed since then. Numerous times I have offered to desex the animals on the property and also to transport them to the vets - it fell on deaf ears! I have been supplying donated dog food to our volunteer so they can feed the dogs when they are allowed to come to the property. Poor mother dog has been giving birth to litters of pups ever since she was a pup herself and there is no hope for her to stop getting pregnant again! 7 weeks ago she gave birth to a litter of pups under a sheet of corrugated iron. Most of the pups were donked on a head straight away. The 3 surviving ones were relinquished to us this morning and delivered to our premises by the volunteer from a nearby village. 2 boys and a girl are Cattle Dog cross. They were a little skittish in the beginning, as they didn't have much interaction with humans, but quickly warmed up to kindness. Warm, fed, worm treated and loved, they are fast asleep and the future is already looking so much brighter for them! Good People! I DESPERATELY NEED Foster or Foster to Adopt HOMES!!!! PLEASE send us a PM if you can HELP! We were blessed to receive 3 parcels of puppy pads this week so THANK YOU SO MUCH to our lovely followers who generously donated them to us! It definitely made my life a little bit easier to

At this point , I am not sure what to say.... We were already drowning in taking in 19 puppies in the last six weeks and we topped it up by another 2 litters last week!!! Last Thursday afternoon we received a message from Veterinary Health Centre Opotiki & Whakatane asking if we could take a litter of 8 young pups who were delivered to them in the morning by a Good Samaritan. That kind person saw a car stopping outside of their home and a rubbish bag thrown into their rubbish bin. After investigation, a litter of screaming pups, who just opened their eyes, were found in a tightly knotted black rubbish bag!!! The first thing came to my mind - what kind of low life would do such a barbaric act?! What happened to the mama dog?! She obviously will keep producing litter after litter as THAT low life will not spay her or even ask for help to neuter her!!!! What will happen to the future litters?! Discarded like rubbish in a forest? Drown in a river? Or simply batted on the head?! How many times have we seen cruelty like this happen to young lives, who in the first place should have not been born, if people simply did the right thing!!! The litter of 8 were given time till Friday 5pm to find a rescue group who would take them. The vet team was knocking on doors of all closeby rescues including SPCA in hope to avoid the euthenasia. They were desperate, I was desperate..... The situation in New Zealand is beyond desperate with so many animals in need. We, as animal rescue groups, repeat ourselves time after time that we are full to the brim and cannot keep going like this, as we are all close to burn out! No wonder that so many rescue groups freeze their intake indefinitely or simply close down. We are all screaming for a change in NZ Animal Welfare Act and implementation of compulsory desexing! "We can't save them all but we can try" - that is what kept us going to save this litter. It took a collaboration of 3 rescue teams to make things happen for these super young

UPDATE: Sandy 🐾💙 Early morning phone call from our emergency vet was not promising as Sandy was still very lethargic and hardly moved through the night. His food bowl was untouched and he vomited a couple of times. On my way to the vets this afternoon, I was preparing myself for the worst and my first question to the vet team was "Is he still alive?" To my absolute relief, the answer was "Sandy is more than alive, he started eating!" Well, that was just the music to my ears I needed to hear, since not only me who had a sleepless night thinking about Sandy, but quite a few of our supporters who sent me messages saying exactly that. This gentle boy stole our hearts! It's still quite early to say that Sandy is out of the danger zone, but one thinks for sure, that we got him at the right time, as he would have not made it through the night on the streets with the wind chill and temperature below 0C. Huge THANK YOU to Sandy's Guardian Angel who didn't walk past him and sought our help! Sandy is still receiving intensive care and we will reassess things tomorrow - taking step by step as recovery from Sepsis takes time for the immune system to fight serious bacterial infection circulating in the bloodstream. Let's not forget that Sandy's overall health condition was dire - starved, infested by parasites and mauled by a dog. I am very overwhelmed by the support Sandy received from you - Good People! Messages to stay strong, parcels of puppy pads and blankets, a tumble dryer and mandatory donations to cover vet invoices and ongoing care! One more "ask", please! Is anyone planning a trip from Mangakino to Rotorua, Taupo or Murupara? The reason being is that our donated tumble dryer is located in Mangakino. I can not travel at the moment, having so many rescue animals in my immediate care, but can arrange a pick up in Rotorua or Taupo. Please PM us if you can help! Please keep Sandy in your thoughts, he really needs all the good energy of the Universe coming

😥 Today's rescue 😢 I have hardly had a respite to recover physically, mentally and financially from multiple emergency rescue operations which we had two weeks ago, since I have been super busy not only looking after animals in my immediate care, but having to think on my feet where to place two of our rescue dogs who were returned (through no fault of their own) by their owners after being adopted month ago. Today I was planning to write an update on our last intake but sadly it's not going to happen, as I spent most of the afternoon at the emergency vets after receiving an alert message, sent by a kind parishioner of one of Murupara's churchers, saying "there's an emaciated and injured dog sitting opposite the church who needs medical attention". Needless to say I was there within minutes, collecting a teen pup who I called "Sandy" and within half an hour we were at the emergency vets. From my first glance I saw multiple dog bites on Sandy's starved body and noticed that the areas of the bites were shaved. Later on, during the emergency vet's examination, it was clear to us that Sandy's wounds were attended to as he had stitches on one of them. Sadly, because Sandy is not microchipped, we can not locate the owner and actually ask how this lovely boy got to the neglected and malnourished state he is now?! Infested by parasites - fleas were covering his skin, starved to the point that he could hardly stand, being super cold, Sandy's body was shutting down as he did not have the immune system or the energy to fight septicemia as several of his wounds did not heal and were oozing, also his body temperature was dangerously high. The poor boy was so accommodating to let the vet team do their thorough assessment, cleaning his wounds and administering medication. Sandy currently is in intensive care of the emergency vets. He is on IV fluids, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory support. He also received a very much needed flea treatment. It's touch-and-go for Sa

‼️ Pound pups ‼️ 7am this morning I received an emergency call from our Murupara Dog Pound asking for help. A litter of young pups were dropped overnight by the fence of the pound overn with no bedding or shelter. The pound personnel contacted the SPCA hotline but unfortunately they couldn't help as they are full, aren't we all?! Litter of 5 pups are approximately 5-6 weeks old, some of the pups are too skinny and all of them are riddled with fleas and worms. One pup is a bit "under the weather"and another one has a very runny poo so Parvo test is a must just to be on the safe side. My emergency foster mum in Murupara is sick with the horrible flu at the moment but still she is looking after our rescue dogs. I am running out of the door as we speak, as I booked all of the pups, including our little pup who we rescued last night for a vet check up and needed tests and treatments. We have also rescued two separate pups over the last weekend but I didn't have the time to put our fb posts as I have been travelling long distances with the pups to our new foster families. ‼️ Good PEOPLE I really need your help ‼️ Our puppy supplies are totally empty, our vet bills are overwhelmingly high and our bank account currently stands at $41.53 You mandatory DONATIONS are so much NEEDED to cover not only vet appointment but the purchase of very much needed supplies: - Puppy biscuits - Puppy mousse - Royal Canin Puppy Milk - Washable puppy pads - Bedding - Flea/worm treatment - Petrol $$ Your Donation can be made to our bank account: A/c Name: All Paws Count Murupara Trust A/c No: 02-0412-0190306-000 Ref: Puppies Thank you for your support! 🙏

Is this your pup? This pup was crying in the middle of Rata Street, Murupara and was delivered to us just now by a Good Samaritan. I knocked on the doors of Rata Street residents, unfortunately nobody there had a mama dog or seen a lactating bithch around. The pup is approximately 2-3 weeks old and has to be reunited with its K9 mum ASAP. If this is your pup please contact us on Ph: 021-160 5329P.S. Proof of ownership is required - a photo of the pup's mama dog.

UPDATE: 😢 Skinny dog in the forest 😢 Two and a half weeks ago we rescued a super skinny, hungry and frightened dog in Kaingaroa Forest, we called her Bianca. At the time of rescue we realised straight away that Bianca is totally deaf, her front limbs are deformed and tail is broken in a few places. She settled into her kennel at our emergency foster home in Murupara in no time. Being so malnourished and exhausted from her ordeal, Bianca was mostly sleeping for the first week in comfort and warmth between her feedings . We decided to give her the time to respite and gain not only weight but her confidence in us, to be comfortable having other rescue dogs in the close proximity and also for us to start learning "her language" as neither I nor our super fantastic emergency foster mum Cushla had any experience with deaf dogs before. After a good week Bianca's personality started to come out and it was so heartwarming to see her goofy and funny side. She is happily entertaining herself with toys in her kennel-enclosure, playing with Fantails on her walks, being super great with one of our rescue boys "Monty" and still hugely food orientated. Bianca loves human interaction and longing to be around us, watching every move we do intensely. Her eyes definitely tell us a story, we just need to look at them to see if she is frightened, inquisitive, happy or excited. She walks beside us on her daily walks and makes sure she doesn't lose sight of us. During her first few walks we noticed that Bianca was limping quite heavily and tripping on her right front leg. This Friday Bianca was booked to have her x-rays taken and her desexing, vaccination and microchipping procedure done. Here is a quote by our orthopedic surgeon Dr David of Barrowman & Goodman Vets: "Poor Bianca has had a bit of a difficult start to life although she is full of fun and very trusting. Unfortunately her front right leg has either been injured or as a result of a nutritional deficiency is now at

😡😡Two weeks old pup the victim of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 😡😡 A late night phone call yesterday left me in shock with the adrenaline kicking in and me wracking my brain about how to help a two weeks old pup in Taumaurunui, King Country who had just been a victim of family violence. A Good Samaritan who happened to be near the property helped not only the female who was getting the beating but also her pup who she was trying to protect. The so-called "big guy" with small genitals and obviously very little brain was violently and repeatedly throwing the pup on the hard concrete pavement in order to kill the pup because "he doesn't walk properly"!!!!! The Good Samaritan was beside themselves because of not only what they witnessed but with the huge worry and little knowledge of what to do with the pup who is half alive and making constant crying noses. It was already 7pm when I made SOS phone call to Animal Fostering Hub NZ and without me finishing my first sentence Tammy the founder of the Hub said "Send me the address and contact details, I am leaving now". Tammy and the Hub's volunteer, foster and our adoptive dad Chris left Palmerston North and had just under 7 hours round trip. They delivered our little boy straight to the Emergency Massey Vets in Palmerston North. I was anxiously waiting for the updates from Tammy as she was the "pilot" and Chris was the nursing dad driving through the night with a super young pup who could not stop crying. For a guy who spent his life being a military man Chris has the most gentle and caring side to him when it comes to animals. For three hours Chris was holding the pup close to his chest, keeping him warm, gently rubbing his belly, nursing, feeding and talkin to him. Chris lovingly called the pup "Mocha". I was on the conference call with Tammy and the emergency vet while Mocha's vital signs were assessed. His body temperature and heart rate were alarmingly low, he was hugely dehydrated and obviously in pain. The

😢 Skinny dog in the forest 😢 Yesterday we were on the mission to save a skinny dog in the forest after we received an alert message from one of the team members of Tombleson Logging Ltd which is currently doing some maintenance jobs in Kaingaroa Forest not far from Murupara. We were told that the dog is super skinny and has been in the same location for a couple of days now. Once we got to the provided location, the Tombleson Logging Crew were very helpful and showed us to the female dog in the bush who happened to be not only super skinny but totally deaf too. We don't know if this lovely girl was lost or dumped and how long she has been surviving in the forest. We are certain though that she was used as a hunting dog as being deaf she is relying on her excellent sense of sight and a much better sense of smell than dogs who can hear. She is skin & bones and her legs are bowed specially the front ones which is an indication that she did not have an adequate diet since she was a pup. Her tail is broken in 3 places and she has one blue eye. We called her BIANCA. It always amazes us how quickly rescue dogs start trusting kind people, Bianca was no different. Once she realised that we are not to cause her any harm and with some possyum treats she couldn't have enough cuddles from us. She settled in quickly in our emergency foster home kennel after having a good meal and a warm jacket, she then straight away snuggled into her fluffy bed and hardly moved for the rest of the day, she was just sleeping blissfully. We decided to give Bianca a couple of days of adjustment and respite before we take her for a vet check up. By NZ law we have to keep Bianca for 7 days while we are actively looking for her owner (today we will check if she is microchipped). In the meantime we also will be reaching out to people who are experienced in how to look after deaf dogs in order to help us to FOSTER Bianca. We would like to express our HUMONGOUS THANK YOU to Mark and Jeremy

Is this your mama dog? Late afternoon today we fed this mama dog who was begging for food by The Bakehouse in Murupara.If she is your dog or you know to whom she belongs to please send us a PM so we can supply some dog food, worm & flea treatment as this mama dog really needs all of that! The bold patches on her shoulders need attention too. Please reach out to us as we can help with desexing this mama dog when she stops nursing. Ph: 021-160 5329

UPDATE: Sunday pups and kittens I am happy to update you that our little K9's & Feline's are doing well in their new foster homes. The 2 newborn kittens have been in care of Team Paws Purrfection in Rotorua since Sunday. They are bottle fed over the clock, putting on healthy weight, slowly opening their eyes and so far no signs of fading kitten syndrome. They are very lucky to be found by a Good Samaritaine in time as for new lives every hour matters and I am very grateful to Team Paws Purrfection for always eago to help us although like any other animal rescue they are totally full. Thank you so much for everything you do Team! After my fb post early Monday morning while I was frantically working on a contingency plan for a litter of 5 pups I received a message from our associated rescue group in Wellington - Ellie's Canine Rescue & Rehome saying that they would like to help and already started networking in order to secure foster homes for our little ones. By midday Monday I was on the road to Palmerston North with 3 girls & 2 boys to meet our foster parents Annie & Phil who offered to foster pups temporarily and meet me halfway. I was so relieved that our pups will be out of the van where they spent the last 24 hours and have a lot of interaction with caring humans. Needless to say that our amazing foster mum Annie gave them a very much needed bath and sorted their worm & flea treatments. Clean, fed and happy after a good play, pups were fast asleep and the following day had more travels to do as Annie delivered them to Kapiti Coast to handover the pups to Team Ellie's. Once again it was a huge effort of many people and I am extremely grateful to everyone who reached offering me help, thankful to both rescue Teams - Paws Perfection and Ellie's Canine Rescue & Rehome, to all of you good people who donated very much needed funds which enabled us to purchase the minimum what we needed for our young kittens & pups, and to put petrol in our vehicles for the t

Sunday pups and kittens - FOSTER HOMES NEEDED! It was a busy Sunday - started super early and finished well into darkness… The night before around 10pm I received a call from a Good Samaritan who on their travels from Gisborne to Murupara saw a box with puppies on the side of the road when passing through Opotiki. The following morning, nice bright and early after two walks in the forest with some of our rescue dogs, our emergency foster mum and I picked up a litter of 5 young pups. With nowhere to accommodate them we had to contain the pups in our van for the last 24 hours - that's how desperate we are for FOSTER HOMES! 2 girls and 3 boys (among them 3 pups are with natural docked tails). We think pups are approximately 5 weeks old and perhaps small-medium cross breed. The little ones were hungry and super thirsty with bellies full of worms and covered with fleas - the usual! During the day Cushla who is not well at the moment (getting through the flu) was looking after the pups as I had a scheduled trip with our lovely Tui to meet & greet a family in Tauranga. Between Cushla and I we have 20 rescue dogs in our care and it definitely takes a heavy toll on our health as each and every one of them needs our attention, never mind the walks we do every day. When I was almost ready to leave Murupara with Tui I received a call from another Good Samaritan asking for help as they just found two newborn kittens at the back of their rural property with no mama cat or other littermates nearby. With no time to waste I collected the kittens and was on my way to our emergency foster mum Vanessa the founder of Paws Purrfection in Rotorua where everything was ready to receive our neonatal Felines. Needless to say that Vanessa had a busy day and sleepless night feeding the kittens at the regular intervals and keeping them warm, and I got back to Murupara late in the evening and took over the shift looking after our new litter of pups. Once again we want to send our strong m

‼️ Do you recognise this dog? ‼️ We had a sighting of this dog two days ago on Main Rd, Murupara looking very lost going in and out of the properties. We were trying to pick him up but he was too timid for us to come near him. All night last night he was roaming around Kahikatea St and Miro Drive setting the dogs barking in the whole neighbourhood. We sported him at 7am this morning outside our gate but he was too scared when we approached him and ran away with his tale tucked in between his legs. We started our search again an hour ago and managed to locate the dog who once again was going in and out of the properties searching for food and water. This time we had a better luck and managed to persuade the dog to trust us. He is safe, watered and fed in our emergency kennel at our premises. If this is your dog or if you recognise the dog please contact us on Ph: 021-160 5329 P.S. The dog is not microchipped 😞

UPDATE: Pregnant bitch left unattended for days! 🆘 Foster Home Needed URGENTLY 🆘 "Bula '' had a trip to the vets yesterday to have a check up and an ultrasound scan to determine how far her pregnancy is. We clearly saw 4 little lives in her womb, but because the pups are tightly packed we are expecting a bigger litter. Judging by the size of the pup's heads and development of their spines and organs Bulla will be in labour in 7-10 days. We are DESPERATELY looking for an experienced foster to see Bulla through her delivery and care of her new litter of pups. Bula has been with us for only 3 days but what we observed so far is that she is a gentle soul who understandably longs for a kind human touch being a heavily pregnant bitch (the touch she was previously deprived of); she is great around other dogs including females and wants to be included. She loves her walks and food which is available to her 24/7 now. Yesterday Bula had her very much needed bath, worm & flea treatment. The infestation of creepy-crawlies was quite shocking to see as fleas were covering her wet shampoo coat and one can only imagine what is happening inside her intestines! It saddens us to think that Bula would have given a birth to her new litter of pups in solitary silence being starved and dehydrated with no means to fetch for herself as she was on a wire attached to her collar so tightly secured around her swollen neck if it wouldn't been for her Guardian Angels who alerted us to her. What upsets us too when we were collecting Bula from the property on Saturday evening we had cars and teen children on the bikes stopping telling us that she ( Bula) is their relative's dog and questioning us why we are taking her away. The question is how come none of those people so called concerned relatives came to the property before prior to check on the dog as for almost a week her cry and bark was heard for miles! Bula is safe and cared for now and if you are a person who can offer to gi

Tonight rescue - pregnant bitch left unattended for days! I heard a knock on our gate this evening and saw a friendly face of our supporter telling me that they were very concerned about their neighbor's dog. Since the beginning of this week they have been hearing continuous barking and crying for help from a young bitch which they thought might have been pregnant. The senior owner believed to be ill and left to visit his family in Hawks Bay without asking anyone to attend to his dog. When we got to the property we saw that "Bula" could not reach the bucket of stagnant water as she looped her cord around the pole in her enclosure. Our supporters were feeding and making sure that Bula had water daily but they were very concerned about her. We could not leave a pregnant bitch in distress and decided to uplift her straight away. With no space at our premises to accommodate any dog never mind a pregnant bitch who is longing for a human touch, my only option was to call our emergency foster mum Cushla and see if she can juggle things around at hers. Just to put you in the picture Cushla currently fostering 4 of our grown up dogs and a pup, plus she has 4 of her own rescue dogs so to keep everyone safe and happy it's not that easy! Bula was stressed when we brought her in, so are the rest of the dogs .... we spent a good hour making sure that everyone is safe and Cushla is still working on to settling everyone down and making sure that Bula feels calm. I am lost for words as I don't think members of our community understand what we actually do and to what extent we go to help animals in need in Murupara and near by areas... Just for the record - our foster mum Cushla made a bed for herself at Bula's kennels so she (Cushla) can spend the night to reassure our pregnant girl....

Update: Dog on a chain - Bea (please read the post) 🆘 Foster Home NEEDED! 🆘 For those of you who are following Bea's story you would be pleased to hear that we finally gained Bea's relinquishment and almost two weeks ago I took Bea for her "freedom drive" to meet & greet an amazing family in Tauranga who offered to foster our girl on a chain - the day Bea was longing for and I was dreaming about. The meet & greet went really well and Bea was super excited to meet her foster mum and two lovely kids. Bea's excitement was quite overwhelming as it was her first time to be introduced to a home and a family where she was so welcomed and instantly loved. Both I and the foster family knew that the path to transacting Bea from being a chained dog to a family pet will not be an easy one and we discussed potential obstacles which Bea might have to overcome on the way, and our foster family was so willing and accommodating in every aspect of it. In the last 12 days we learned that Bea has big separation anxiety which didn't come as a surprise to us as in our experience we knew most of "chained dogs" go through it to various degrees. Our foster mum has taken some time off work and her family members have been helping her to look after Bea too. We also have been seeking advice from Team AllSorts Dog Training in order to understand how we can make Bea's transaction easier and smoother. Unfortunately to transact a chain dog to a normal life of a pet it's not a thing which happens overnight and of course it is still so early for Bea too. At the moment she is going through a "visual separation anxiety" - let's break it down: 1. Bea was chained for the last four and a half years since she was a pup. 2. She did not have much human contact during that long 4,5 years period. 3. I have been coming to visit Bea while treating her for mange, socialising and taking her for walks for the last two and a half months, and every time I took her out I had to put her back on the chain an
