The Springer 'Springs' in the NZ countryside

[Steve_B]

Finally, we have him and you could say that he's enjoying his new found freedom.



And for those who would like to know how they travel



Reunited and happy again



Treated very well this end by 'Pethaven' and I did have my concerns whether to bring him at all based on the fact that he's not young at eleven years. However, all worked out in the end

Simply wonderful Happy hugging times ahead me thinks

That is great news. So happy he arrived safe and sound. And boy oh boy does he look happy. Good on you!

[JandM]

Awwww.... so pleased for you, and him.

What a great picture! I'm sure your relief at his safe arrival was immense to say the least! Hope our guys fare as well. They are no spring chickens either.

Love those pics Steve. Thanks for showing.

Love those pics Steve. Thanks for showing.

Thought I'd add a few more that show the kennel conditions at Pet-Haven. We took these on a visit prior to Murray being released





For anyone considering taking their dogs we can highly recommend Pet Haven as you can tell that they genuinely care about the animals. They're are based south of Auckland so not ideal for everyone but we were pleasantly surprised with the set up and friendliness of those that run it.

We won't be bringing a pooch with us but I bet these pics are reassuring to everone who will be Steve.

[Manks]

Great news and lovely pics Our pooch travelled well too but boy was she happy to see us when we visited her in quarantine the "smile" on their faces is priceless when you get them out and they get to explore their new surroundings. I'm sure it's a sensory overload for them!

Love the photos! So glad you got your pup and all went well. I'm getting mine into the crate routine and she seems to really like it. Hope that's a good sign that she'll travel well in a few months.
