Dogs are the best people in the world. When you’re down, they’ll cheer you up and make you laugh. When we go away, we miss our dogs. When we’ve lived in circumstances where we couldn’t own dogs, we’ve always sought the affection and love of other people’s pooches.
Here at Te Hoiere Guesthouse we have two highly trained therapy dogs; Abbey and Dougal.
You can read a brief bio for each below.
If you’d like to spend some time with a dog or two, let us know and we’ll arrange an introduction or even a joyous greeting when you arrive. This service is free although a few treats will get you a long way with Abby and Dougal.
Dougal is a Norwich Terrier who just wants to have fun. He loves to play and argue with cats. But he gets tired and likes nothing better than to snuggle up with some human company.
Abby, is a beautiful empath who will listen to you pour out your heart and never say a word. She knows about tough times and came from the Whangarei SPCA. She’s got Blue Heeler, Bull Mastiff and Labrador in her genes. She gives beautiful cuddles.
