Senior Dog Club Is Looking For A Loving Home For Molly To Retire


Molly is an 8 year old Labrador X, desexed and microchipped. This beautiful lady is very fit, healthy and active, she loves to run in the bush and on the beach.
Molly is a fun-loving happy girl, who has a great sense of humour and is very friendly towards people and other dogs. She wants to please, loves any kind of attention, and has the sweetest soul.
Molly has had a very eventful life in her eight years. When she was first rehomed to her current owners, she weighed in at 59.2 kg. Through proper veterinarian care and guidance, she lost 30 kg. Her current weight is now 29 kg, but her Vet thinks she could possibly still lose a few more. She is currently on Hills Weight Loss and Mobility food. Running very fast in a field or along a beach is now one of her favourite things!
Molly loves attention and cuddles, she will stroke you with her paw to ask for pats. She loves physical contact and to be brushed. When out on a walk, she makes sure no one is left behind, and will come back and check on you.
Molly generally likes to retire early, so will head off to her bed when her day is done.
She enjoys her cosy bed during the day and night. Her bed, bed linen and towels will be supplied.
Molly needs to live with a fun family, where she will be included in an active life, not left at home all day by herself.
Molly has sunshine in her eyes when she is super happy, and a big smile that
un-mistakenly shows just how happy she is. She also answers to her nickname ‘Moo’.
Molly is not tested with cats.

Senior Dog Club Is Looking For The Perfect Home For Ollie To Retire.

Ollie is a rare medium breed. She is a Stabyhoun – Dutch (5th rarest in the world). She is 12 years old and currently resides near Wellington.
Ollie is desexed and microchipped. Due to her age her hearing has slightly declined, she suffers from arthritis in her front legs, and incontinence. Both of these are managed with medication, which will cost $130 per month for both meds – Propalin is .5ml/day & Previcox – 1/2 tablet every 2nd day. The new owner must be comfortable with these costs. Ollie currently has a diet of kibble and wet food twice a day.

Ollie is a lovely submissive dog, very gentle, relaxed and sensitive. She loves company but not clingy. Ollie likes dipping in water but not full swimming. She can be stubborn at times. She loves her daily walk, 40-60 mins walking not running is best. Ollie is still active but low to medium energy. She is great on and off lead, and will heal at your feet while walking off lead, she also knows a few commands and tricks.
Ollie is fine with other dogs but will ignore them mostly. She is also fine with cats and kids. Ollie will need a groom every 6 weeks, she has very fine hair and will need some extra brushing at home to prevent any matting.

If you would like to chat more about Ollie please email dearhumansnz@gmail.com

Gorgeous Bella Joins The Senior Dog Club

Bellas family were concerned about Bella (nearly 10), living with her human in their retirement village apartment.
They had read the Senior Dog Club article in “Stuff”, and decided it would be a good service and time for Bella to find a new family.

I met with Bella and her family, we chatted about Bella’s best options and decided the best the way forward. Bella attended a senior examination at her vet, including a full blood screen. She also had a very special groom at “Puppy Paradise” in Massey. Please watch the adorable video on Facebook.

Last week I drove Bella south, towards Taumarunui to meet her new Human and K9 Sister Lizzie.
It was such a great match! Bella had jumped into her car within 2 mins of meeting, as though they had always been together.
Within an hour of arriving at her new house, Bella was bathing in the sun on her deck with Lizzie, she had explored her quarter acre country garden, ate homemade dehydrated chicken, and sussed out the bed and the couch!
She is now part of Lizzies walking group, they meet (with their humans) every Saturday morning, where they explore new places, and play brain games as a group. So Bella is really living her best life in the country! Bella is a very confident, sassy lady, which made the transition between family’s very smooth. Bella was very excited for a new journey, and her previous family are assured they have done the right thing by Bella. The pictures say it all!



Senior Dog Club Announces Their First Club Member.


Welcome Monty!

The Senior Dog Club was contacted by Monty’s family in Autumn 22. Unfortunately his elderly human was no longer able to look after Monty after moving into a rest home. Monty was required to leave his current living situation asap.
The same day Monty was rehomed to a Senior Dog Club Carer, where he met his new little K9 sister, Luna. Monty was introduced to a whole new life, and have a family who adore him.
Over the past couple of months, Monty has been through a full medical, a full dental, a groom and has lost around 6 kilos on his new healthy diet.
Monty loves his new parents, his little sister Luna, he loves waiting for his lead before a walk, he loves sitting in the long grass at his local park – looking like the curly cattle from wales, and he loves his new waistline.
