WE WANT TO GIVE A SMALL DOG A NEW HOME
If you or anyone you know will be looking to rehome a small/medium dog in the near future I would appreciate your call.
Maybe you are moving or going to a Retirement Village where you cannot have a pet - or it can be any other reason.
Jeni and I have a rescue shih tzu (7) - she had been very badly treated. Now we have had her 2 years and she is gaining confidence we would like to rehome a doggy as a playmate for her.
We also have another little old shih tzu they are good friends but Daisy is 15, deaf and nearly completely blind, she also has a liver condition. So she’s a companion but not a great playmate.
We have always had three dogs and we are basically looking for another ‘short nosed’ doggy up to spaniel size.
The doggy would not lose touch with its current owner and we would keep in touch with visits/walks - whatever was requested.
We have a nice house looking over the Port and would be happy to have it inspected.
The Ngamoutu Domain is only a few metres from our front door and it’s a favourite place for walks.
Rob Mills at NP Vet Group is our vet for Daisy so any new doggie will be looked after well in case of illness.
All our dogs sleep in our bedroom and are rarely left at home alone.
My mobile is 0212666721 (if I cannot answer I will see your no and phone back) or reply with a phone number on this site.
Thank you —Roger Tonkin
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
