Community rehome - this lovely boy is Rover. He was found wandering by a family in Kaitaia who took him in and searched for his owners. Nobody came looking and his finder family, having two rescue dogs of their own, are now seeking to find him a forever home. He’s about 14 months old, desexed and vaccinated, great with kids and currently lives with a big and a little dog. We don’t know how he is with cats sorry. He’s super affectionate and loves to swim.
Rover will only go to the best of homes and applicants will be screened.
Please contact Nick if you can offer Rover a new home - nicklittleopua@gmail.com
He's got a beautiful face 🥰
What a cutie!!
What a beauty!!

Gonzo is in Urgent need of a foster home.
Foster or adopt Gonzo, who is a 2-year-old Boxer X located in Manawatu.
Gonzo has been in a foster home and his foster mum thought he was just great, but a change in her circumstances means that Gonzo needs a new place to go.
Gonzo is a friendly, happy boy, but needs some more confidence building, He has been playing with lots of other dogs, so another dog in the home would be good for him and for someone to be at home for most of the day.
Gonzo has not been tested with cats or stock.
His home would be quiet but active and for someone to understand that Gonzo is unsure in new situations.
His new home must have good fencing.
Gonzo is de-sexed, fully vaccinated, chipped and registered.
There is an adoption fee of $300 to help us cover these costs.

Best dog name I've heard in quite a while.
Cairo is a Ridgeback X and is located in the Wellington Region.
Cairo was an unclaimed stray, so we have no definite information about him. We believe he is aged around 18 months, Cairo has been in a foster home, learning some basic commands and has been crate trained. However, his training needs to be on-going, but as he is very fond of food, this shouldn't be too hard. Cairo loves to play and run, but when excited can jump up, so is best in an adult home. He loves everybody and in heaven when he can cuddle on the couch with his favourite people. He will bark to alert you of anyone arriving, but will greet in a friendly manner. Cairo is untested with cats.
His new home must have good fencing and for someone to be home part of the day.
Cairo will be de-sexed, fully vaccinated, chipped and registered.

Cairo is a awesome dog. I have spent a lot of time with him. He has alot of love to give and he is in foster with two other dogs.
I’ve met Cairo many times, he has a heart of gold, I just can’t understand why no one has snapped him up yet! He would be such a great best friend ❤️
He is the best. It's insane that he's not in a forever home yet. Someone needs to snap this handsome man up. We miss having him around. He's such an awesome dog.
He's not the best at treat catching but he tries (and got better at it). 😍
He is a lovely dog and I really enjoyed playing with him. She is going to make someone a wonderful friend. I think you could have a lot of fun doing nosework or trail running, or dryland sledding with him.
He is the best at waiting enthusiastically but patiently at meal time.
OMG hes adorable x
Absolutely beautiful
Jamie Reid Nicola Gillespie maybe Scoob does need a brother😍 - they are practically identical

Buzz is a seven year old Hunterway X desexed male, currently residing in the Wellington area.
He's a really lovely natured dog who is very sadly having to be re-homed as his dad passed away recently.
He has always been a very loved family dog and is very relaxed and chilled out around the house. He's very loving and adores being around people.
Buzz is very good with other dogs and loves his walks. He's an enthusiast and likes to run up and say hello to other dogs and kids so a bit of work will be needed around recall in this department.
He's quite a strong dog and does pull on a lead when he's keen to get where he wants to go! He walks well on a lead when there is nothing interesting to get to though, so again, a bit of work needed.
Buzz has been used to having another dog as a playmate and someone home for most of the time so he will need at least one of these in his new home.
Buzz is not suitable to live with cats or chickens.
Buzz has been de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is up to date with flea/worm treatments.
There is an adoption fee of $150 to contribute towards these costs.

Poor boy must be heartbroken losing his human 😞😭
Lovely laid back dude.

How can you resist this boy? Hunter is a Huntaway Cross. At approx 10 years young he is a dog with lots of love yet to give.
Here is what his foster has to say about him.
'Hunter is a perfect older gentleman with a very gentle nature. He LOVES people – all people. If you ask him to sit, he will sit right next to you and gaze lovingly into your eyes. He would make someone a great companion and would be suited to someone being home most of the time. He loves to be next to you and will give you a nudge for a pat, or stick his nose under your arm and push his head through, once the head is through he is happy to sit there for as long as you want with your arm around him. He will give you space but likes to be in the proximity of a human. Hunter is a very quick learner – he is toilet trained and crate trained for night-time sleeping. He loves going in the car and for walks. We usually walk for half an hour and afterwards a nap is in order. Not tested one on one with cats but sees them when walking and shows no interest. Thunder was scary the other day so put a pair of PJ’s on and hopped on my lap for company – after being invited to do so'.
ARAN dogs cannot be chained to kennels or left for long periods home alone. All ARAN dogs must sleep indoors.
Our adoptions start with a two week trial period, to make sure the dog is a good fit for you. If things don't work out they return to their foster home.
Hunter is de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is up to date with flea/worm treatments.
There is an adoption fee of $300 to contribute towards these costs. This heavily subsidised adoption fee is approx 50% of what you would otherwise pay to have a new dog fully vetted and desexed, registered and chipped.

I can say with all honesty that Hunter is a lovely quiet dog. He loves human contact and nuzzles under your arm for rubs and scratches.

Foster home found.
Toto is around 5 months old and is located in the Manawatu area. He is a lovely pup and enjoys being with people, as well as other dogs. He has not been tested with cats or stock.
Toto is believed to be a German Shepherd x Huntaway. As he is still very young, Toto will need on-going training and somebody home for most of the day or another dog to play with. Good fencing is required for all ARAN dogs. He must be allowed to sleep inside the house and be part of the family.
Toto will be de-sexed, fully vaccinated, flea and worm treated, chipped and registered.
Good Fencing is required and someone home for part of the day at least.

A huge thanks to all who emailed us offering a place for Harvey, and those who shared and commented. Harvey is now on trial with a lovely family ❣️
On behalf: Harvey was picked up on the side of the southern motorway. He was riddled with fleas and ticks. So we took him to the vets to get checked out. He had no microchip or collar and no one has come looking for him.
Not sure of the breed but maybe staffy/ridgeback??.
He is a very loving pup. He's also a quick learner. He’s doing well with toilet training and learning basic commands. We would love to keep him, but we have a dog already. We are based in Pakuranga, Auckland. He has had his first vaccination and will need to be desexed as a condition of adoption. Please email aran.rescue.nz@gmail.com
Hope you find a loving home Harvey. You look such a sweetheart 🐾🥰
Beautiful boy! He looks a bit like our huntaway cross rescue boy Otis
Thank you for everything that’s been done on this guys journey hope he finds a furever home soon x 🧡
Looks like might be a bit of mastiff in him too. Looks like my rescue girl when she was a pup. Poor thing, so glad you guys have him

ARAN is a registered Charitable Trust.
We fostered Ben's brother Buck and have ended up adopting Buck as he is such a smart and loving dog, he has fitted in amazingly with our dogs and family and has the coolest personality. If Ben is anything like him which I am sure he is (they look identical), he would make the best pet, I hope he finds his forever home soon!!!
Kevin Provis I think Ben looks like the one for us!! 😊
We would love him
Lani Monaghan look at him!
Jeremy Vincent He’s perfect Jem!
BEN HAS BEEN ADOPTED

Bo (previously named Jimbo) is available again after being in training in a wonderful foster home in Waikato.
Bo is intelligent and a quick learner. His breed is a working/scent dog, so we want him in a home where he can use his traits and with no cats in the household. Bo is crate trained. He would do well in a quiet, rural home, as he is unsure in some situations and needs more confidence building, A steady routine with plenty of exercise and opportunity to use his skills would be good for Bo. Older children used to dogs would be ok. Bo is also an affectionate dog, who loves to snuggle up on the couch with his family.
Bo is de-sexed, fully vaccinated, chipped and registered.

He has had no training but now that he's in a foster home he is learning the basics with very positive results.
Snoopy is located in New Plymouth.
Snoopy needs a home that is committed to his ongoing education, where he gets plenty of exercise, and in return he will be the most loyal friend you could hope for.
Snoopy could live successfully with cats, children, and other dogs. He is also learning about chickens.

Maple is a 22 Month old Sharpei x and is located in rural Palmerston North.
Are you my human ?? I really hope so, as I am so excited to find my own one.
I have recently just had puppies, so now it is time for me to find my forever home.
I am a really good girl, I am medium sized, but I do fit perfectly on the couch next to my person.
I am good with other dogs, and love playing with friends.
I haven't shown any interest in the stock that is close by, so if introduced correctly I'd would be ok around stock, I haven't been around cats as yet, but if introduced slowly I think I might be ok.
I am house trained, and also know that I need to use my crate sometimes.
I have had basic training on the lead, and have a really good recall - I know my name! I do need good fencing, as if I am left alone I will jump fences to try and find you, or if I get really bored.
If you think I might fit into your family please apply for me, and lets see if we hit it off.
My new home needs someone to be home, at least part of the day.
Maple will be de-sexed, fully vaccinated, chipped and registered.
