Beautiful Brownie is a gentle, affectionate working dog ready to swap farm life for a quieter pace. She's still got plenty of energy for bush walks and adventures, but her days of working stock are behind her. She is based in Masterton.

Brownie absolutely loves people, pats and cuddles, gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and is great with children and cats. She's obedient, toilet-trained and could transition beautifully into life as a much-loved house dog.

All Brownie wants is a kind, loving home where she can enjoy plenty of companionship, affection and the occasional adventure. She'll need a securely fenced yard and a family who will cherish her as much as she'll cherish them.

Please visit the link to get in touch with her owners if you are interested in adopting her.

Patch is a 3-year-old, medium-sized Heading Dog with a big personality and plenty to learn, based in Christchurch. He was brought home as a pup with the intention of becoming a sheep farm dog, however farm life isn't the right fit for him as he's too full-on around stock and has a heavy prey drive, resulting in him doing little work with stock. He's an eager student who picks up commands easily, and although he can be shy around new people, once he trusts you, he'll become your best friend.

Patch spends his days lounging around, and his owners think he'd be much happier in a home where he can enjoy adventures, have fun, and make the most of life! Theyy're now looking for the right home where he can thrive and be loved for who he is.

Patch is looking for an experienced handler who can give him the right environment to thrive, enjoy adventures and have fun.

Patch's ideal home:
- Best suited as the only dog
- No cats, chickens or small animals
- No small children
- An experienced owner who understands his needs

Patch might be the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal mate to take on life's adventures - just without other pets in the mix!
