Listing confirmed 4 November 2026
All adoption applications are handled directly by SPCA New Zealand. Contact them to arrange a meet-and-greet and start the adoption process.
🐻 Meet Bear! 🐾 Bear is a handsome Labrador cross, with a beautiful nature, plenty of potential, and a few brain cells that are still waiting to clock in! 😂 This lovely boy is a fast learner and is ready to find a family who can help him reach his full potential. Bear will benefit from a firm, patient, and consistent owner who can teach him the basics, provide ongoing training, and help him grow into the best version of himself. 🐾 Other dogs: Bear gets along well with other dogs, although slow and careful introductions are always recommended. 🐱 Cats and stock: His reactions are currently unknown, so this will need to be taken into consideration by potential adopters. Bear has so much to offer and is looking for someone willing to invest the time, patience, and love he needs to thrive. Could you be the person to help this sweet boy on his next adventure? 🏡 If you'd like to meet Bear, please apply online. Meet-and-greets are arranged for approved applicants only.
