It could be a beach you'd never been to before, a walking track you'd never tried, a town that pleasantly surprised you or a particularly good cafe, restaurant or bar. Please feel free to comment here or to message me directly. Please put 'NFP' in your comment or message if you do not want your name or suggestion published.

SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years.… View more
Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.

I understand things are hard for everyone right now, so I do not expect anything - just putting this out there.
Due to her rough start in life, she has terrible gum disease and bad teeth. She needs her teeth removed (and may need her eye removed at some stage). We’ve been quoted $1,300 - $1,700 … View more
I understand things are hard for everyone right now, so I do not expect anything - just putting this out there.
Due to her rough start in life, she has terrible gum disease and bad teeth. She needs her teeth removed (and may need her eye removed at some stage). We’ve been quoted $1,300 - $1,700 for surgery to remove her teeth. I’m hoping that I can raise some of this amount through Givealittle.
