❤️ Tessa. huntaway x
Rehome on behalf

My name is Tessa and I am looking for a new home. While my people love me dearly, they feel that due to their work commitments and a move to Auckland I would be better off staying in the South Island. A place with a large garden, lots of outdoor space where I can lay around and enjoy myself and be allowed indoors to be part of the whole family.
So a bit about me:
- I'm 4 years old, desexed.
- I love going for a walk, but not really long ones as I have bilateral hip dysplasia.
- I love my Kong with peanut butter and chewing on a pigs ear.
- Sometimes I can be a bit stubborn, but I do have a vocabulary of words I know and biscuits and treats help me remember.
- I am allergic to beef and it gives me eczema on my paws
- I take a while to get used to strange people, I don't like them patting me or wanting a cuddle, I need to get to know you first before I want a cuddle from you. If you're a male then it's going to take a little longer to win my trust as I'm wary of strange men.
- Being a huntaway I do bark - I'll have a conversation with you, I'll bark at a dog to play, and sometimes if I'm unsure of a situation I'll bark till you tell me that it's ok. I also like lying quietly with everyone in the lounge while you watch the TV and will come up for a cuddle on the sofa with you.
- I sleep inside at night, I'll take myself off to bed if I'm feeling tired before you. I also have a dog sofa so if you've got one of those that would be fab.
- I can't live with cats, because I like to chase them but i am great with other dogs. I have had exposure to children but I don't currently live with any young children.
