Missing dog Ruatangata West
I am writing on behalf of our neighbours and we would appreciate your help. Please call or text to: 0274 696141. Thanks so much!!!
"Feeling pretty sad at home tonight, our wee miniature sausage dog “Jenny” is missing. She took off hunting a rabbit yesterday with “Bruce the dog” and only Bruce returned home. She’s an old dog, just turned 11 and has always been an avid rabbit hunter, who was still getting rabbits at home last week( actually annoying at times because she used to sneak off any chance she could get!).
Anyway this time she headed into the neighbors bush and hasn’t made it back.
I’m hoping the Facebook world might help locate her. Fairly certain she was heading west of our place through the bush towards Ruatangata. If there’s anyone out there who saw an old tan coloured miniature sausage dog and a black springer spaniel x boarder collie yesterday afternoon please let me know.
I know full well she could be buried inside a rabbit hole or perhaps even shot but I’d like to know. It’s awful not knowing where she is.
We searched the bush area and some paddocks tonight but haven’t seen her.
Just hoping someone out there may have seen her."
Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
