Missing dog - found!
Update - Sunny has been found, thank you!
Sharing on behalf of a friend 😞 LOST 13mth old golden retriever named Sunny.
Description:
💜 Purple collar - with name & number on tag. • Multicoloured leash still attached possibly (see pic below)
• almost full size (big breed of dog)
• shorter fur on her back (like a Labrador) but feathery tail still like a retriever
• dark rings around eyes and darker ears
• anxious but very gentle and friendly
• MICROCHIPPED (so not the impounded lab people have spotted in the council pic)
We got her one week ago so she’s NEW to the area so might not find her way home to us. She’s not used to sudden noises & busy roads (from the countryside / far north). Very scared of fireworks etc.
Last seen:
Was near top of Sunnynook road around 8.40am on Wednesday 9th Nov but got a fright when my kid fell over and she ran off down the hill. Last seen running very fast (!!) down wylie ave / juniper rd near Sunnynook park but unsure after that as was scared and wasn’t stopping. Someone thought they spotted her in greenhithe but I don’t think the timings match up (they said 7.30am) - who knows though.
*Vets and Council contacted etc
• Posted on NZ lost dog registry, Lost Pet Finders NZ etc
What you can do:
• Please check your properties incase she’s hiding / resting.
• Grab her if you can gently approach her calling her name ‘Sunny’. She may run away if you run towards her. She’s anxious but very friendly & gentle / harmless!
• Please spread the word - she could be ANYWHERE on the north shore & beyond now (missing since Wednesday morning)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
