Some dogs will be registered for the remaining year but registration from the new year onwards and if they are not currently registered will be the responsibility of the new owner(s).

** Before the adoption is completed Ruahine Animal Rescue will conduct a property inspection to ensure the house and surroundings will be suitable for the pet. We will consider the environment including other pets and children, any special needs of the animal and fencing if required.

PUPPIES AND DOGS

BUDDY Newish.jpg

Buddy

Age: Approximately 8 years

Breed: Staffordshire bull terrier cross Shar pei mix (M)

Available now

A little bit about me: 

Buddy is looking for a very special owner who can give him a quiet, relaxed home to spend his later years without the noise and fuss of children or other pets.

Buddy started life as a street dog and his early deprived life has taken its toll.

 

He is a 8 years old Staffy X, neutered, registered, and vaccinated. Buddy does have issues with his joints and is now on a metabolic diet. However, he is still quite spritely and enjoys a good walk especially down by the river.

 

His lead manners are good and he shows no aggression towards other dogs when he meets them but he does not like to share his personal space.

 

Buddy just loves LOTS of attention and CUDDLES - he needs to find a devoted, loving owner. Are you that very special person?

Maisie

Age: Approximately 12 weeks

Breed: Shepherd Cross (F)

Available now

A little bit about me: 

Maisie is a super sweet affectionate girl who loves cuddles and is looking to be a very chilled puppy.

She is currently settling with her new foster Mum and  her personality will come out more over the next weeks but by puppy standards sleeps alot.

Due to Maisie's age, she will need someone around for most of the day, especially while she is young. Ideally, she should not be left alone for more than a couple hours at a time. This will help her settle into a new environment and routine. It will also allow for her to be fed midday meal and to be enriched at the same time.

Maisie will be adopted fully vaccinated, microchipped registered and additionally, she'll be adopted under a conditional agreement to be desexed, promoting responsible pet ownership.

Cooper.jpg

Cooper

Age: Approximately 7 years

Breed: Staffy Cross (M)

Available now

A little bit about me

Cooper is a bouncy, loveable and very loyal dog who always gives an enthusiastic welcome.

 

He has been well trained, is good with children and was border trained with a collar (no longer needs batteries). 

 

Cooper was rescued 6 years ago and still has a little separation anxiety and will need a firm, loving owner who will take him on his much enjoyed daily walk. Cooper’s other little foible is that he does not like to come inside so if you’re looking for a special companion who won’t bring mud into the house, then Cooper’s the dog for you.

Age: Approximately 6 Years

Breed: Ragdoll/Red point Siamese (M)

A little bit about me: 

A previous farm cat, Jigs is a free roamer and a hunter, so would prefer a little indoor/outdoor flow!

He is fine around small dogs and other cats however has not been tested around children.

Gracie is also a previous farm cat and hunter, but since being at the shelter has really come into her own loving pats, snuggles and being the centre of attention.
