Sassy needs a forever home
Until recently Sassy had spent all of her life in a kennel and run. Despite the neglect she suffered for four years, this rescued dog has the most amazing nature. She loves people, including children, and is never happier than when she is hanging out with human companions who shower her with kind words and affection. We are looking for a forever home for Sassy, where she will be spoilt and given the love she deserves.
Sassy has never been socialized, so she is wearing a muzzle on her walks until she learns how to behave with the new dogs she meets. She has quickly learned how to walk nicely on a lead.
We are looking for a patient and stable home for this cuddly girl where she will have plenty of company at home and while she is introduced to life outside of her past prison.
With her soft nature and gentle ways, Sassy has won the hearts of all our volunteers. If you know anyone who may be interested in giving her a wonderful home, please ask them contact Linda at Animal Re-homing Charitable Trust at info@animalrehoming.co.nz.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
