Flite is a medium sized, 12-year-old, tri-coloured heading dog. He is very good-natured and still fit and active but unfortunately, he is now quite deaf at distance. Flite is ready to retire from farm work and would make a fabulous pet as he is toilet trained, gets on with other dogs ok and is wonderful with children. The place where he had been working is now sold and he is ready for his new home ASAP.

🐾 Meet Sam – the Lovable Retired Huntaway! 🐾

Sam is one of our foster dogs who is looking for his forever home. Are you looking for a loyal best mate who’ll happily follow you around and love you unconditionally? Meet Sam, a gentle 9-year-old Huntaway with a heart of gold. 💛

Sam’s enjoying his well-earned retirement after years of farm life, and now he’s looking for a quiet forever home to call his own. He’s easy-going, affectionate, and happiest just being near his person.

✅ Great with other dogs
✅ Good with chickens (though he might “collect” the odd egg 😅)
✅ Used to stock
✅ Enjoys a calm, relaxed lifestyle

He’d love a home with older kids or adults only, where he can be part of the family and enjoy a peaceful life.

📍 Fostered in Levin
