🐾URGENT REHOME🐾

Billy & Tank are 2 year old Kelpies. Loving, loyal dogs looking for their new forever home. They are working breed, living rural. Friendly, affectionate, and great companions who love being around people, kids, and other animals. Both have playful personalities and enjoy attention, cuddles, and spending time outdoors. Rehoming is only due to owners moving overseas very soon and they would love to see them go to a caring rural/lifestyle home together.

Billy: Outgoing and enthusiastic but just needs help with his confidence with working with stock otherwise he is very friendly and warm and loves attention. Billy is also crossed with a blue heeler

Tank: Tank is the exact same but we don’t know what he’s crossed with and not sure how Tank is with stock otherwise they both lovely and friendly dogs.

For more information contact their owner via the link below:

Atticus is a gorgeous 3.5-year-old Heading Dog looking for a new home due to his owner relocating overseas.

He’s a true rural boy at heart, having grown up on a farm, and would thrive in a similar environment. Atticus is desexed, microchipped, and gets along well with other dogs and stock. Atticus hasn’t lived with children before and isn’t used to busy town life or roads, so a quieter, rural setting would suit him best.
He’s incredibly affectionate and forms strong bonds with his people - once he loves you, he’s all in. Loyal, gentle, and sweet-natured, he’s the kind of dog who just wants to be by your side. While not high-energy, Atticus still enjoys daily walks, playtime, and having a bit to do.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a big heart, Atticus could be your perfect match. Contact his owner for more information retiredworkingdogs.org.nz/dogs-for-adoption/atticus-kerikeri/
