Dogs for adoption: https://www.poundpawsrescue.org.nz/

Seeking foster care or forever home. Sadly Gavin is needing a new home as there has been a drastic change in circumstances with his recently adopted home.

Approx 18 months old Huntaway/ Smithfield 26.8kg. Not a barker Fostered Christchurch

Gavin has settled into home life so well, he is lovely to handle and loves to please.

Gavin is the cuddliest boy you could wish to meet! He has the friendliest nature, and absolutely adores people. He is very gentle with the young kids he has met on walks, and loves to play and run with other dogs.

Gavin has explored the forest, beach, open fields, stop banks, been to the pub, cafe and socialised at a parkrun. Everyone that has met him says how beautifully natured he is!

He is energetic, loves walks, toys, food, games, playing tug, and training. He is quick learner, and has learned a lot by watching the two female dogs he is fostered with. He can't wait to jump in the car to go for walks, goes nicely on a harness and is very responsive. He walks off-lead beautifully where it is safe, stays close by, or runs with our dogs.

Best suited to have another dog to live with, and for someone to be around for most or part of the day as he thrives on company and engagement. He is ok with a confident cat once he is used to them.

House-trained and sleeps inside on his bed or the sofa at night, and loves a cuddle on the sofa of an evening.
