I may need a place to camp out with them in a camper van if I cannot find homes by 23/12. I have a kennel license for the pups, and they are registered and microchipped. I have a fully self contained camper van and am looking for someone with a farm or lifestyle block in the Bay of Plenty area who would not mind me camping in a corner of their land for a week or two. I would arrange to stay a limited time with and end date and move on that date. I can supply references. There would be two or three pups of around Fox Terrier size, although theoretically they are Staffy/Mastiff crosses, and my own dog, who is a quiet, gentle lab cross. I would keep them tied up or in a dog crate. They are reasonably quiet, not huge barkers, and I would be with them all day to manage them. If you would be able to help please reply to this post, text or call Kaye on 021 0845 0891.
