Maltese delightful dog, Louie, about 4 yrs.

Elizabeth from Ponsonby

Hi all, I am looking to rehome a small (maybe 4kg) Maltese dog who was from a litter of my dog. I have rescued him from a hostile household but I have 3 dogs and cannot care full-time. He is little, so sweet, so friendly to all dogs( not yappy at all at dog park, loves to meet all shapes and sizes). He is honestly the sweetest dog and I actually raised him but feel he needs better care than what he was getting. photo is of his father, Louie is a bit smaller. Ive had him with me and my 3 small dogs for 3 weeks and he has been perfect. He is a lovely dog and a purebred. He is very affectionate and cuddly. I'd love to have him if free on occasion as we have a bond too.

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
