Meet our adorable wee Tami🐾
Tami is a mix breed, 3 months old and will grow into a med to large girl. Sadly, Tami didn't have a good start in life and came into our care after she was dumped. She was very timid and shy at first but soon after lots of love and cuddles she is blooming and is becoming a very confidant wee girl. She absolutely loves food and treats and enjoys her playtimes with her pound mates. After a good play she just loves falling asleep in your arms. This gorgeous girl thrives on cuddles and grew into a very affectionate wee girl.

Tami will need a home with secure fencing, with a family that has the time to give her everything she needs, who are able to give her daily walks and for her love for treats training will be a breeze.

If you'd like to know more about Tami, please send us a message or apply to adopt, visit - waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption

Meet our adorable Lucy🌼
Lucy is a Staffy cross approximately 1.5 years old. She is a very affectionate girl who loves being with her humans. She absolutely loves belly scratches and cuddles. Lucy is a real treat when it comes to water as this girl can't resist trying to eat the water as you hose. She also loves splashing around in a splash pool. Lucy is friendly to all her pound mates and loves kids. We don't know how she is with cats. She is just all round a very happy girl that can't wait for her forever family to grab her up and go on adventures.
Lucy would need a home with secure fencing, with a family that has time to give this girl lots of love and attention with a daily walk.

If you'd like to know more about Lucy then send us a message or to apply, visit - waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption

Update: Blossom found her forever home🥰🥳
Introducing Blossom🌸
This cutie is about 3 to 4 months old, Sharpei cross.
Blossom came into our care with her sister that didn't even make it on FB as she found her forever home very quickly which leaves Blossom very sad and hopes she will be grabbed up by her forever family just as quickly.
This cutie is just a bundle of joy that loves cuddles and smooches. She is a very clever girl who already knows basics commands. Blossom is already crate trained and knows to toilet outside. She is very playful with her pound mates, and she even gets on with cats when she goes for sleepovers on weekends with staff. This cutie will make any family very happy with her big personality. As you can see Blossom has cherry eyes and that will be looked at with her desexing.
Blossom will grow into a medium size girl and would need secure fencing to keep her safe.
Every dog that goes up for adoption has a health check with a Vet to make sure they are fit and healthy.

If you would like to know more about Blossom, then send us a message. To apply for her, visit - waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption

Introducing Patch 💙

This handsome boy is roughly 2 years old, a mixbreed and medium to large in size.

Patch hasn't had the easiest life so far, but you wouldn't guess it when you meet him as he's a very happy and social boy.
He gets on well with other dogs and is very friendly and affectionate, he loves the company of his humans and could spend all day receiving belly scratches and snoozing by your side.

As you can probably tell from his photos, Patch is blind in his right eye.
This doesn't seem to affect Patch too much, and he moves around and runs about with no problems.
Every dog that goes up for adoption has a health check with a vet to make sure they are fit and healthy and there is no underlying issues.

Patch would need a home with secure fencing, with a family that has the time to give him everything he needs, who are able to give him a daily walk and the love and attention he deserves.

If you'd like to know more about Patch then send us a message.

Adopted!!!😍
Thank you for all the interest and the applications! Please be patient as we work through all the applications.

Introducing Gizmo 💙

Jack Russell, 3-4 years old and small in size.

This affectionate boy absolutely thrives on human attention and would happily spend his days snuggled by your side after a good adventure outdoors.
Gizmo is very sociable and gets along well with other dogs, particularly female dogs, and is well mannered on a lead.

He has a good foundation with his recall and with continued training he's sure to master it in no time.
Gizmo is toilet and crate trained, and is generally an easy boy to have around.
True to his breed, he has plenty of energy and would love a home where he can get daily walks, as exploring the world on foot is his all time favourite hobby.
We are unsure how Gizmo is with cats.

If you'd like to know more about Gizmo then send us a message.
