🚐🐾 TRANSPORT REQUESTS 🐾🚐

I have a couple of transport jobs coming up and would absolutely love some help from this amazing community please. ❤️

Sorted ✔️
Thank you Ari 🙏🏽
📍 Maungatapu → Te Puke
I need some dog food transported from Mangatapu to Te Puke as soon as possible. If you’re heading that way and have a little room in your vehicle, please let me know! 🐶🥫

📍 Tauranga → Taranaki
Over the next week to fortnight, I need a dog transported from Tauranga to Taranaki. 🐾

If you’re heading to Taranaki for a holiday, work or any other reason and could take a rescue pup along for the ride, I’d be incredibly grateful! 🙏

Even if you can only help with one leg of the journey, please reach out.

Please PM me if you can help or know someone who might be heading that way.

🐾😰 U R G E N T 😰🐾

These beautiful puppies are currently being given away FREE on Facebook and we all know just how risky that can be for vulnerable little puppies. 💔

Superstar Helen can collect all six puppies and bring them to safety in Hamilton, then we need help getting them from Hamilton to Tauranga this evening. 🚗🐾

There are 6 puppies who need to come into the rescue and my preference would be to place them in three separate foster homes, with two puppies per home. This will give them the best chance to settle while we work towards finding their forever homes. 🏡

🚗 Transport:
Hamilton ➡️ Tauranga this evening for all 6 puppies.

🏡 Foster homes:
Papamoa/Tauranga preferred.
Ideally 3 foster homes, with 2 puppies per home.

If you can help with transport or fostering, please PM me ASAP.

These babies deserve better than being advertised as free puppies on Facebook. Let’s get them safely into rescue before they get into the wrong hands. 🙏🏽

Please share, share, share!

Bones is a gorgeous 5 month old Shar Pei x looking for his forever whānau. 💙

This handsome boy is an absolute sweetheart with beautiful manners and such a lovely nature. He is great with dogs, stock, cats, and is wonderful with kids too. 🐶🐱🐑👧

Bones is crate trained, has great recall and is already proving to be a very well-rounded young dude. He is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog.

📍 Te Puke

👨🏽‍⚕️ Bones is vaccinated and microchipped and will go to his new home on a desexing contract.

If you think Bones could be your boy, please get in touch today! 🐾

🍄‍🟫🐶 H U G O 🐶🍄‍🟫

I’m a bit of a dude. A gentle giant who came from pretty humble beginnings.

I’ve been sitting in the pound for ages now and honestly, I’m starting to wonder if anyone is ever coming for me. 😢

I was found wandering on the road and eventually someone tracked down the person listed as my owner. I thought maybe I was going home… but they said, “Nah, we don’t want him…” 💔

So here I am.

Maybe that’s actually a blessing though, because when I first arrived, I wasn’t in the best shape. 👎🏽

I’m around 2 years old and I’m a really lovely boy. I LOVE people, I enjoy my lead walks and I’m just a really easy-going dude. No aggression has been seen towards other dogs. I just want to be someone’s good boy.

The hardest part is that I’ve had absolutely no one ask about me or look at me. Not one person. 😔

I’ve been waiting and waiting, watching people come and go while I stay behind these bars.

I’ve even managed to split the end of my tail from wagging it against the concrete walls. 💔

But I’m still wagging it.

Because I’m still hoping. 🤞🏽

I’m registered, microchipped, have had my parvo vaccination and I’m up to date with flea and worm treatments. Livvy can organise my desexing.

🙏 Can someone please help break me out of the pound?

I don’t think I’m asking for much. Just a family who will love me, take me for walks, give me a comfy bed and let me finally know what it feels like to belong.

I’m Hugo.
I’m a gentle giant.
And I’m still waiting. 🥺
Please.

A BIG thank you from all the full tummies!

Cleo, resident Livvy’s Pals pup, would like to say a massive THANK YOU to Richard from CopRice Nz for this incredibly generous donation! ❤️

On behalf of all the full tummies, we appreciate you more than you know. Your generosity helps keep the pukus topped up and makes such a difference to the mahi I do here at Livvy’s Pals. 🐶

Richard, you’re the man! We appreciate you heaps. 🥰

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 🐾

🤩🤩🤩

🗒️There is a bag missing from the photos. As I started to move them into storage, Cleo gave me “the eyes” 👀… it’s adventure time, Mum. That can wait. 🤣
