Beautiful Poppy is a 4 year old Huntaway, located in Te Kuiti.

Poppy is a happy, affectionate little girl with a big personality and an even bigger love for people. Full of energy and enthusiasm. She loves being involved in whatever is happening around her and is especially fond of following children around and joining in with family activities.

While she originally came from a working home, she has had very little work over the past two years and is now much more accustomed to life as a companion. When around stock, she is happy to follow other dogs and understands the environment, but she would need a very gentle and patient handler if she were to return to any type of working role. Her future home does not need to be a working one, and she is likely to be happiest as an active family companion who can enjoy plenty of exercise, adventure, and involvement in daily life.

If you are interested, have any questions or think you can provide Poppy with the life she deserves please reach out to the owner directly using the contact details provided via the link below:

Retired Working Dogs NZ Charitable Trust
1 day ago

We’re very excited to share a new partnership between Retired Working Dogs NZ and Venture Insurance, Wealth & Mortgages . As is often the case, it all started with a dog.

Spike, a Huntaway who found his new human Marnie after deciding working life wasn’t for him anymore, was the reason Venture first reached out. That initial connection has grown into a long-term partnership to help support our retired working dogs - we’re so appreciative of this community!

If you take out an insurance policy with Venture and use Retired Working Dogs as your referral, Venture will make a commission contribution to support our work. It’s a straightforward way to help our dogs while taking care of something you may already need.

We’re really pleased to have Venture on board and grateful to Marnie and Spike for bringing us together. We look forward to seeing where this partnership takes us! To get in touch with Marnie, contact marnie@venture.co.nz, if you would like to find out more about Venture and their services check this out www.venture.co.nz/insurance/rural ...

We’re very excited
