Bazza is a companionable dog with a sweet nature.

Whangarei SPCA always has lots of animals needing new homes. Our Tip of the Week feature includes details of one SPCA animal up for adoption, and an SPCA tip for animal care.

Bazza

Bazza is a five-month-old male heeler cross.

He is medium sized, has a sweet nature, and is a companionable dog.

Bazza is best suited to a lifestyle block or farm where he has room to run.

He's great with children.

His tip:

It's a good idea to check your pet's coat on a regular basis for grass seeds and bidibidis as they can cause matting or become embedded in their skin and cause infection.

See more details about Whangarei SPCA, including how you give them your support here.
