Willy is a large 9 year old neutered handsome male Huntaway. He is still fit and free moving for his age but cannot quite keep up on the hills anymore, even though he'd love to go to work each day still.

Willy has a very friendly personality and would love to be on his owners our lawn in his retirement, but unfortunately we already have a couple of retirees, so he deserves a place where he will get lots of attention.

Willy has been used to catching pigs and goats during his work (as well as his regular huntaway duties), so caution needed around these animals if you have them.

If you are interested, have any questions or think you can provide Willy with the life he deserves please reach out to the owner directly using the contact details provided via the link below:
retiredworkingdogs.org.nz/dogs-for-adoption/willy-ongarue/

🐾🐾This listing is shared on behalf of the owner. RWD hasn't assessed or met this dog and hasn't verified the information provided. We also can't take responsibility for any arrangements made between parties.

○RWDNZ FOSTER DOG○

🐾 Meet Fern ❤️

Fern is a gorgeous 10-year-old Beardie x Huntaway looking for a peaceful retirement home.

Despite her age, she’s fit, healthy and still loves daily adventures, but she’s equally happy snoozing on a cosy bed while her foster carer works.

She’s fully toilet trained, great with dogs, cats, chickens, stock and older children, with fantastic recall and lovely manners.

Fern can be nervous around strangers, loud noises and unfamiliar places, so she’s looking for a quiet rural home, ideally with another dog and someone around much of the day.

After a lifetime as a working farm dog, Fern deserves to spend her retirement being loved. ❤️

Could you be her forever home? 🐾
