Chained dogs rehabilitation & rehoming
Can you please donate to help with Beatrice.
Beatrice’s story CDRRNZ were approached by Henderson Animal Shelter to help a wee dog that had just come into their care. They mentioned she had a few potential health issues, but when we saw pictures we were stunned.
It was clear that she had suffered and been in pain for an extended period of time before ending up in the caring hands of the shelter.
Her teeth were in a shocking state & needed urgent help. Her eyes were so cloudy it was clear she was partially blind. And then we saw her underside. She had a massive tumour that impeded her walking, sitting, and functioning normally.
These things did not pop up overnight. They are not hidden. They are right there for anyone to see. And whoever “anyone” is didn’t care enough to help their dog be free of pain.
What has happened to Beatrice is abuse, plain and simple.
She spent 3 hours at Hibiscus Coast Veterinary Hospital today getting checked out & we now have a plan to get her healthy & pain free. They believe her prognosis is good & we are so relieved.
A dental and lump removal are first on the list, and ensuring her life is pain free is paramount.
We are grateful. Grateful to the team at Henderson Animal Shelter for seeing beyond the pain and knowing there is a sweet dog who just deserves a 2nd chance. And grateful to her foster mum who said yes to taking her immediately .
Now we need to start Beatrice’s plan for her new life. This will not be cheap, but she will be worth it.
Please consider helping Beatrice get all she deserves. Whether it’s $1 or $100, every cent helps. You can donate here - ow.ly...

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% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!
