Bobbin
FEMALE | BORN FEBRUARY 2026 | GERMAN SHEPHERD X
LOCATED IN AUCKLAND
This girl is a sassy little sweetheart with confidence levels that can only be described as “I know I’m cute, and you do too.” She's relaxed, observant, and generally unbothered… unless she wants something.
And when she wants something? Oh, you’ll know. You’ll all know. Her communication style is “polite but firm toddler who has spotted a snack.”
She’s already proving herself to be an overachiever:
Toileting: Doing pretty good at learning that this happens outside.
Eating: No longer eating like she’s been raised by wolves. She’s becoming quite the little lady; dainty, deliberate, and only occasionally chaotic.
She’s affectionate, cheeky, and absolutely convinced that everyone she meets belongs to her now. She’ll happily curl up, charm the socks off everyone, and then bat her eyelashes like she didn’t just wedge herself between you and your significant other on the couch.
If you’re after a confident, cuddly, slightly dramatic girl with a heart of gold and a talent for comedic timing, Miss Bobbin is ready to grace your home with her presence.

A Note on Training and Adopting Our Dogs
Our dogs are wonderful, and we invest a great deal of time and effort into their training and preparation. However, no dog is “perfectly trained” or ready to adopt without any ongoing work.
All dogs go through normal life stages and changes — puppyhood, adolescence, adulthood, aging, moving homes, and adapting to new environments. Any of these can lead to stress, uncertainty, or moments of testing boundaries.
Because of this, ongoing training is essential. Training isn’t a one-off task; it’s a continual process that helps you understand your dog’s needs, support them through transitions, and set everyone up for long-term success.
We would expect adopters to maintain the training we’ve started and seek further guidance if needed. We’re always happy to help with information and recommendations for trainers, and provide advice during the trial and adoption process also.
Can't adopt Finnick? You can still help.
Although we charge a small adoption fee, this doesn't generally cover the costs of us getting our dogs ready for adoption. Desexing, grooms, vet care, vaccinations, registration, training and variety of other things can go into these dogs. If you'd like to help either on a one off or regular basis we would be grateful for your donation.
