An organisation which trains and provides guide dogs for vision impaired New Zealanders has received a "record" number of applicants seeking to temporarily house new puppies.

On Wednesday, Stuff reported that guide dog charity Blind Low Vision NZ needed homes for 40 puppies in the next three months, with only 10 homes being confirmed.

The impacts of Covid-19 and the cost of living crisis had affected both staffing and volunteer numbers, said Rochelle Corrigan​​, puppy placement and development manager.

A new upgraded version of our ever popular 5-star mini quad bike is ready for some backyard adventures - when your kids twist the throttle on this awesome electric mini quad, they’ll be in for the time of their lives.

The powerful 1000W electric motor is clean, green and silent, so they can hoon around without disturbing the neighbours or local wildlife, while the big 36V 12Ah battery means the fun doesn’t end after just a few minutes.

An adjustable speed limiter lets you choose from 3 settings, so you can adjust speed for age and confidence, while the powerful front and rear disc brakes help keep things under control. With a maximum speed of 25km/h plus on the highest setting, these little quads really rip.

The black bodywork not only looks the part, but features reinforced plastic foot pads for protection. Front and rear coil-over suspension handles both the bumps and pilots up to 70kg, while the chunky tyres provide plenty of grip for adventures in the park and around the backyard.

Just imagine the look on your kids face when you wheel this shiny beast out!

Is your broadband bill about to increase? Don't throw money away.

Spark have recently announced a price increase of $3 - $5 a month for new and existing broadband customers and other providers seem likely to follow suit.

Information collated by our research team has found that tens of thousands of Kiwis are still missing out on hundreds of dollars of savings each year on their broadband bill, because they are failing to shop around for cheaper broadband plans.

We estimate that over 500,000 households would be able to pay less for their broadband each month but many consumers are unaware of the fact that they could be making these savings and people often don’t know where to start when looking for a change in broadband plan or provider.

This is where NZ Compare can help. Our websites are simple to use and if you need more help, our friendly, Auckland based, customer support centre can advise on the most suitable broadband plan for your needs and help talk you through the switch. With unlimited fibre broadband plans available for less than $60 a month why would you pay more?

Find out more at NZ Compare or call the team on 0508 226672

CORRECTION: This post has been amended to clarify that the price of fibre and copper broadband internet services will increase, and that the increase is between $3 and $5 a month, not only $5 a month on fibre broadband plans as previously posted. (Amended at 10.31am, June 23, 2022)
