Rosie the horse seeking 'forever' home after long wait at SPCA
A thoroughbred horse who has been waiting for a permanent home for three months "just wants to be loved", the SPCA says.
Rosie ended up at the SPCA with her paddock mate, Buddy, after their owner died in May.
The pair, both 13 years old, came to the SPCA as a bonded pair, but the charity struggled to find a home willing to take on two older horses.
The SPCA later realised Rosie and Buddy were not a bonded pair and could be adopted separately. Buddy was adopted almost immediately after the horses became available for adoption as individuals.
"Rosie hasn't had much interest from the public and we just can't understand why. She is such a playful horse, who just wants to be loved," SPCA Southern region general manager Sam Powell said.
Rosie has a big personality and likes to be the centre of attention. She would make a great paddock mate and would be great at babysitting foals, Powell said.
Not much is known much about her history, but SPCA staff believe she has been ridden in the past and will need an experienced rider.
"Rosie is such a sweet horse and deserves to find a loving forever home."
The SPCA does not have a time limit for adoption animals, meaning Rosie will stay at the centre until she finds a permanent home.
Anyone interested in adopting Rosie can contact the SPCA's Christchurch Centre by calling 03 349 7057 or visiting its website.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
