I have met a few different dogs and have shown that I don't necessarily enjoy the company of other dogs. So would very much like a home as an only dog. I don't appreciate dogs jumping on me. I would much rather be curled up with my humans. I am looking for a home with older teenagers or adults, and a home where it's more quiet rather than a busy household. I walk well on leash, am toilet trained, and have had some basic training. I need a yard with at least 1.6m fencing. I have been learning to ignore the cat in my foster home which is going well. My new owner will need to be aware of my previous medical history which the team will provide to any applicants. If you think you can provide me with a suitable home, please click the enquiry button for me so the team can get in touch."

The new Piwakawaka Memorial Bush Walk is a gentle path which has been lined with 1500 native plants and runs between the lower and upper areas of the cemetery.
