Bronxy needs a cat-free home

Bronxy is looking for a fun and affectionate home. She is a three-year-old Corgi X Jack Russell who adores human company and loves to be cuddled on laps and in arms - where she regularly falls sound asleep. Bronxy enjoys car rides even more than her regular walks. Unless she is in a fully fenced area, we recommended that she is kept on her extender leash due to her intense prey drive.

Bronxy enjoys playfully running with other dogs, but because she is a gentle and sensitive soul, any canine in her new home would need to have an equally soft disposition.

Bronxy has been de-sexed, vaccinated, micro-chipped and registered.

For more photographs and information about this sweet girl please click here. 

We would like to thank Dog Protection Society New Zealand for fostering Bronxy, Colleen for bringing her into our care, our wonderful volunteers for assisting with her walks and Nose To Tail Dogwash for offering her complimentary baths.

Two Beautiful Dog Coats Donated

When Furr Kids gave Vanessa two beautiful dog coats, she generously wrapped them up and couriered them to our rescue dogs. Our permanent shelter boy, Caesar, really enjoyed the fuss and attention involved in modelling them for us. We managed to get him to stop playfully charging around the garden long enough to snap a couple of pics.

Thank you so much to Furr Kids. In their own words, they specialise in “fun, funky and functional products for cats and dogs”. To see their range go to http://www.furrkids.co.nz/

Big thanks also to Vanessa from Eye Magazine for thinking of our animals

If only all pigs were so loved...

When her pet pig Bentley was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis and given a 10% chance to live, his doting caregiver (the founder of EARTH Animal Sanctuary) wanted to comfort him. The meningitis left him blind, and he was very distressed being in the hospital environment.

Have your tissues ready as you watch the beautiful way Corinne chose to soothe Bentley.

Thanks to Peter for his valuable help

When Peter inquired how he could support our work with animals, we asked if he had any storage space available. He immediately offered to share his garage with us and to run our deep freeze there at his cost. We are very grateful for this valuable help.

Peter’s place of work has closed down and he is now looking for part or full-time work on Auckland’s North Shore that is involved in some way with dogs who assist humans. If you know of opportunities that relate - even remotely - to guide, mobility, hearing dogs, etc, please send an e-mail to This email address is being protected from spambots.
