UPDATE: Mia has a new home now.
Please consider Brodie below. He is just as sweet and gorgeous as Mia and needs a new home.
We also have many dogs at our shelter that would quite like to meet you 🤗

+++COMMUNITY REHOME+++ Levin

We have not met Mia but have been asked to help find her a new home. Please contact her owner for more information.
Here is what he says to say about Mia...

Mia is a 2 1/2 year old Staffordshire bull terrier. She's black with a bit of white on her chest. She is desexed.

Mia is an active girl she likes to play with the tennis ball, but ends up me chasing her to try and get the ball off her.
Mia is great with dogs, she walks twice a week with a dog walking group who run free in the Waiterere forest. The rest of the working week she is taking for walks around the streets of Levin.
Mia gets excited the times she goes to the kennels as she plays with her friends their.
Mia loves to be beside you on the couch and cuddles in. She is friendly with all people and very social.
Mia is good with commands she waits for her food until she is given the command to eat. She is inquisitive with cats.

If anyone is interested in Mia for a loving loyal companion
Please call me

Missing for 365 days 💔

$7000 reward for the safe return or info leading to Otis return to us.

Last seen parakao, whangarei. July 5th 2022
No names. No questions.

Otis is a knee height, jet black, 4 year old English staffy. He is microchipped and wasn’t yet neutered. He has very few faint brindle stripes on him, mainly around his back legs. He has a scar on the upper outside of his left hind leg. He is standoffish with strangers but is more likely to approach women. He will react to his name and a short sharp whistle.

I’m broken. One year ago today I watched Otis dawdle out of my door for what I didn’t know would be the last time. I miss him more than I’ve ever missed anyone or anything in my life. I have so many regrets so so many what ifs. The grief and guilt that I feel is so intense some days I don’t even want to get out of bed. So much has happened in the last year. I wish he could’ve been here for it. I hope everyday if he’s still out there somewhere that he doesn’t think that I’ve abandoned him. I’ll never give up on him. I hope he’ll never give up on me. I look for him everywhere, every single day and I always will. Everywhere I go, every single black dog I see.

To whoever took my boy from me, know that you’ve caused damage so severe that my heart won’t ever heal. If Otis is out there somewhere please let him come back to me. If anyone knows anything or has seen anything, please reach out to me. It will never be too late to say something I’ll never hold it against anybody. No names will ever be mentioned. There will be no repercussions. I’ve only ever wanted my boy back where he belongs.

My darling boy you mean the world to me and forever will. Always my number 1 🤎

We are all individuals… and that’s ok 👌😆

I’m a force free, positive reinforcement trainer… I ”add” something to “reinforce” and “increase” the behaviours I like. And no I don’t just work with puppies or dogs who pull on lead. FF +R works for all behavioural issues. Including aggression. But I don’t spend my time yanking, kicking, or zapping dogs. I don’t need to. Dogs work with me as a team, because I respect them, understand them, and because they chose to. I encourage any and all wanted behaviours, even when they aren’t quite the goal behaviour yet 👏😃

On this walk, when I called the dogs and asked for a sit/stay for their photo, as I always do, Athena chose to sit like this, and that’s fine! She is a very sensitive dog. This isn’t ”bad behaviour” she isn’t being disobedient or dominant, she is simply doing the best she can, in the context of the environment she’s in. Is it the goal behaviour, no, it’s an aproximation, and that’s just fine! Pay that dog! 🍖

I see it as simple data, communication, if you really see it from the dogs point of view, and read their body language, you’ll understand so much more. Versus having just one set of aversive tools, just one anecdotal opinion, and applying it all dogs in all contexts, as many traditionally styled trainers tend to do 🙅‍♀️

Be with your dog. Watch your dog. Look to their environment, their current level of training, their emotion. Look at it from her point of view. Don’t be afraid to get creative. Don’t be afraid to use compassion. Don’t be afraid to accept approximations of the goal behaviour, and give your dog time to find her way. Stand beside her, and show her that not everyone in this human world, misunderstands her. Be her person, and let her be your guide 💫
