Belle
(Wonder Woman)
5 year old
Ready for adoption
Auckland
A lovely, sweet playful girl once she overcomes her shyness and gets to know you. She loves all hounds and would really like a home with a buddy to hang out with. Happy to hang out while you are out and about and snooze the day away with her favourite toy/pillow octopus! Belle is not the bravest of girls but she's learning fast. She does need a confident companion both hound and human to show her the way. Belle has a super sweet nature and will do best in a less busy home.

Clara
(You ready Boots)
5 years old
Ready for adoption
HamiltonA shy girl who would love a hound buddy (or 2) to hold her paw as she learns about pet life. A quiet home with humans who love being at home whether for work or play will be rewarded with a sweet, gentle, loving girl. Clara has taken a few months to relax into a home environment and her confidence is still building but should you open your heart to her she will show you that she has a little sass, a playful side and will smooch too. She would do best in a quiet home with a male greyhound (goofy males are her favourite!) who would be happy to play with her and show her the ropes.
