Meet Immie
Breed: Huntaway x
Barking from: Auckland
What's up dog?
Immie never fails to put a smile on the face of everyone she meets out on walks, trips to Bunnings and going to the retirement village to see her great grandmother. She has helped transform our mental healths just by her loving and caring nature, and never fails to bring a smile at the end of the day to both my partner and his brother who are in the trades industry and struggle with mental health. Her all round silliness but loving nature brings such a light to the family whenever shes in the room and makes sure no ones not greeted or sitting by themselves. We were all really struggling with dealing with life until our unexpected little bundle of joy came along to change our lives for the better. Her loving presence around the household has immensely impacted everyone to take on board the struggles in life as she is fully deaf herself which can pose a massive task to cope with, and makes you realise that if she can be so happy with a life altering disability for a dog, then maybe we can take away from that and all be as happy as she is even when life throws challenges at us.
