Introducing Missy and Chaos ❤💙

2 years old, medium in size and Labrador mix breeds.

Missy and Chaos are siblings who have grown up in the same home, we would like to keep them together but we're also open to rehoming them separately.
They play nicely with other dogs, have a good understanding of commands and are very affectionate once they get to know you.
Initially shy with new people, but once that trust is there, they have a lot of love to give.

Their perfect home would be somewhere they get daily exercise, has secure fencing and with a family that will dote on them.

If you think you have the perfect home for Missy and/or Chaos, apply here and we will be in touch if we think you could be a good match: waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption
If you have any questions, send us a message.

Introducing King 👑

King is 8 years old, medium in size and an American Staffordshire Terrier.

This handsome hunk has found himself at the pound and looking for a new family at the age of 8.
As sad as that is, we're hoping we can find King the perfect home to grow old in 🤞
We think the perfect home would be somewhere with secure fencing, where he gets to sleep in a warm bed inside at night, receives daily walks and gets lots of attention as he's an affectionate boy.

King is very social and plays nicely with other dogs, a gentle boy who craves love 💙
We're not sure how he is with cats.

If you think you have the perfect home for King, apply here and we will be in touch if we think you could be a good match: waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption

Max 💙

Max is roughly 4 years old, small in size and a Fox Terrier x

Small in stature but big in personality, we are hoping to find a family that can handle this quirky, active but affectionate little dude.
Max is social with other dogs, but just like his terrier best mate Lucy, we wouldn't trust him around small animals.
Once he trusts you, Max loves attention and could be by your side receiving pats and scratches all day.
But he is wary of new people, he's not the type of dog that will allow strangers to come and touch him without some time to build some trust first.
With this, he would suit a home without young kids.

He would need a home with secure fencing, with a family that can give him daily exercise and keep him stimulated.

If you think you have the perfect home for Max, apply here and we will be in touch if we think you could be a good match: waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption
If you have any questions, send us a message.

Lucy has been adopted 💕

Lucy ❤

Lucy's roughly two years old, small in size and a Jack Russell x

Our little pocket rocket has been with us for a while now but we're hoping our new photos will help us find her the perfect home 🤞
Lucy has energy to burn and would need a home where she has lots of space to run around, with an active family who can give her daily exercise.
She's a social girl, loves being in the company of the people she loves and trusts, so we would want her to go somewhere she's not going to be left on her own for long periods.

Lucy has been good with the dogs she's met, but she is a bit bossy, if you already have a dog it would need to be one that is laid back and doesn't mind that there is a new sheriff in town.
From what we've seen at the pound, and in typical Terrier fashion, Lucy seems to have a prey drive for anything small that moves fast. She would need secure fencing so she doesn't run off into the distance chasing rabbits.

A big thank you to Renee ( on Instagram) for the photos 📸

If you think you have the perfect home for Lucy, please apply here and we will be in touch if we think you could be a good match: waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption

Lunah has been adopted 💕

Introducing Lunah❤

Lunah is 4 years old, a small medium in size, and a foxy/border collie mix.

This beautiful girl has been stealing hearts since the first day she arrived in the pound, a friendly nature, affectionate and social with the other dogs.
We don't know everything about Lunah's past, but we do know she came from a home with other dogs, cats and children.
We're looking for a family that can give Lunah daily exercise, in a home where she is not left on her own for long periods, has tall and secure fencing, and a warm bed for her to sleep in at night.

We were lucky enough to have the very talented photographer Renee (Instagram- ) come and take photos of our dogs 📸
Hopefully with her help we can show our dogs for how beautiful they really are and find them homes soon.

If you think you have the perfect home for Lunah, please apply here and we will be in touch if we think you could be a good match: waipadc.govt.nz/dogadoption
