Belle
(Wonder Woman)
6 year old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
Auckland
A lovely sweet, playful girl who loves a ball and a toy and will be your best buddy once she overcomes her shyness and gets to know you. She loves all hounds and could live with a calm, confident boy or be an only hound. Happy to snooze while you are out at work or busy for the day. She needs a confident human who will provide her with the confidence she needs when out and about or faced with situations in which she is unsure. Belle's ideal home would be with a quite couple in rural or quiet suburban setting. With the sweetest nature Belle will be your loyal companion. -

Jess
(Rowdy's Message)
6 years old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
AucklandSweet, sassy and a lover or all things wet! Jess is a playful girl who not only loves water - yes a true beach babe! but is comfortable on camping excursions, going on walking adventures anywhere you please and even down to the local cafe for a puppachino. She can be a little reserved when she first meets you, but don't be fooled, she'll be up snuggling on the couch in not time! Ideally a home with another dog (hound or medium-large breed) would suit Jess best as she loves a doggie companion especially when you are out at work or play.

Clara
(You ready Boots)
6 years old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
HamiltonClara has been with us a while and would really love a home of her own. Timid and shy until she gets to know you, Clara needs a home with a garden for playtime, experienced owners who will exude confidence for her and ideally a relaxed, confident male greyhound to help show her that life is great. Once settled, Clara will show you her playful side and even snuggle on the couch for TV time. Being in foster with teenagers Clara has got used to some hustle and bustle but can take it or leave it! Clara is a gorgeous girl if you give her a chance to show you.

Arnie
ADOPTION PENDING
(Rocked It)
5 year old
Not cat trainable
Currently in foster
South AucklandIf you are looking for a boy who can keep up with adventures yet chill out at home then Arnie is your man.
Not suited to homes with young children due to his exuberant moments he'd do best with families with teenagers or adults only.
Having recovered from an injury with the care of the rtr team and professional rehabilitation, some care is needed to prevent crazy zoomies.
Give him clear directions and Arnie is a great companion.

Purdy
(Go Purdy)

Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
South AucklandOur lovely Purdy, with his cute overbite and slightly roman nose, he is a friendly boy who will shine in the right home. He has a lovely playful streak whether with his toys or another female hound. He knows when it's time for his walk or when dinner is due to be served (he's got a great appetite) but equally happy to relax on his sun lounger or in the garden. Purdy can live happily as an only hound and is comfortable staying home while you work away as long as he gets his twice daily walks in.

Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
AucklandOllie is a fun, smart and happy boy. He loves to travel and is great on his walks or adventures. A quick learner, he is a real giver. Great with children, although as he is a big boy, those over 8 would be best. He loves nothing more than to smooch and groom session. Ollie sustained a race day injury but he is in great health and nothing stops him loving life. Ollie can live as an only hound or with a compatible female.

Bush
(Dream Bush)
5 year old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
WaikatoA loving, low maintenance, happy boy, Bush loves his walks and give him a fluffy or squeaky toy and he will amuse himself or come to you to join in his games! Bush would love a garden to zoom and play in and to spend time with you on walks or at home. Bush would be happy as an only dog who is comfortable spending time at home alone, yet be your awesome companion when his humans are around. He is not your hiking buddy - shorter walks are more his cup of tea!. Although good with kids, older children are preferred as Bush is an old soul at heart.

Buster
(Bill Buster)
4 year old
Not cat trainable
Ready for adoption
South Island
Buster is a gentle, softer-natured boy looking for a calm and understanding forever home.He can be a little unsure around new people and in unfamiliar environments, and will look to his person for reassurance. With a bit of patience and a steady routine, he continues to grow in confidence and enjoys exploring at his own pace.
Buster is quite curious about the world and does best in quieter settings. If he becomes overwhelmed, once home he will seek out his crate to decompress, showing lovely self-awareness.
With a little patience, Buster is the kind of dog who will truly reward his person — forming a special bond and offering quiet, genuine affection.
He would really benefit from living with another calm, confident dog who can help show him the ropes.
Buster is best suited to a quiet household where he can continue to build confidence with gentle guidance and structure.
He is not suitable for a home with cats. -
