When Jess and Marley's Mum passed away, they were left grieving and without a home. With the huge loss they have suffered, they are in need of a stable lifestyle with lots of love. Their sad little faces show their despair and confusion.
JESSIE. DOB: 7/5/12 (Just turned 10).
Adopted at 4-months-old from the Humane Society. Jessie is an extremely loyal and intuitive girl who has an uncanny ability to read her humans. (Her human siblings call her their ‘human dog’).
She has lived with cats all her life, but has shown interest in unknown cats. Sometimes she suffers from itchy skin which is suspected to be a grass allergy. However, she is currently doing well on good quality sensitive food.
Jessie is a good, alert dog who will bark to let you know something's up - but she’s pretty chilled and calm otherwise. She can be dog reactive at times, but is easily redirected by saying ‘leave the puppy’.
Jess is wary of strange men, loves water, and chasing a ball. At her age, small sessions with short throws are in her best interest now. She’s in good health for a 10-year-old girl, and weighs approx 25 kilos. She has been surrounded by love all her life, lived in a quiet, peaceful, calm home, and loves to be close to her human. All she needs now is her own person.
MARLEY. Will turn 7 in September.
He’s a neutered, white Golden Retriever. He is a failed assistance dog who was adopted when he was about 1-year-old. He failed his assistance training because he has some insecurities and anxiety issues/irrational fears. For instance, he absolutely hates and fears water, and isn’t good in public/noisy/busy places.
Marley is generally a well-mannered boy who loves people and other dogs. He’s just a big hairy loveable goofball of a boy. Marley too has lived with multiple cats and is very gentle, but has also shown interest in stranger cats. He loves to bring presents, loves his food... and will eat anything in sight.
Both dogs require regular grooming and Marley drops a lot of fur. Previous big, hairy dog experience would be an advantage.
They are both de-sexed and micro-chipped, and will be registered on the NZ Companion Animal Register. Council registrations are up to date along with vaccinations, flea and worm treatment.
Neither dog would be suitable in a house with small, noisy children. Their lives have been very unsettled and they’ve had huge upheaval since their Mum passed away. They have never been left alone all day as their Mum worked part time. Marley has some separation anxiety.
Applicants must own their home in the wider Auckland area, be fully fenced, and available for a property inspection, etc.
