20 months old

Bay of Islands Animal Rescue proudly presents...Taper!!! Meet Taper, a 20-month-old boy looking for a confident, experienced home. This handsome lad is desexed and full of youthful energy. He’s only been around other dogs and would suit a home with older children, as he can be bouncy and enthusiastic when excited. Taper will need secure, good fencing and a committed owner who understands confident male dogs. He can be dominant with other males, so he’s best suited to a home with female dogs or as the only dog. With structure, leadership, and plenty of exercise, Taper will thrive and become a loyal, devoted companion. Could you be his perfect match?

As with all rescue dogs, Taper will need some time to settle in and will need some further training, he will be de-sexed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, treated for parasites and in good health when he goes to his forever home. Adoption Donation Applies

BAY OF ISLANDS ANIMAL RESCUE We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to giving animals a fair start in life, with kindness, love, and care.

HOW WE WORK We rescue and rehabilitate unwanted and abandoned animals, teaching them to trust again so they can find loving forever homes. Our team provides hands-on care, assessing temperament and beginning training to set them up for success. Once ready, they are placed in foster care to continue their journey before being adopted.

We follow a strict rehoming process, including property checks, to ensure our animals find the best possible homes.

Your new pet will come with a welcome pack that includes (when available) food, treats, and their very own collar and lead. Plus, we offer a two-week trial period to ensure the perfect fit—for both the adopter and the animal.
