This is Star, our latest Rottie baby…

She’s a rescue who was surrendered coz she was grossly over-weight (almost 70kg compared to her now 45kg); she was fodtered out but had to go back to the shelter where she wasn’t doing so well in an institutional environment, even with great carers…so they asked if we could look after her…

She came up on the pet bus (who knew there is a bus for pets that runs the length of the North Island?) and we picked her up in Taupo. That was in March and she was initially super hyperactive and reactive to everything. It’s taken til now for her to mostly adapt to the sights and sounds of semi-rural life and not start at every sound. She has also discovered mice – as winter finally arrives – and is like a 45kg cat when she gets a scent…
