Meet Squid!
This poor dude was found in a farm drain at 4 weeks old. He is a sweet loving boy full of energy and will need to be exercised daily.
He grew up around dogs and cats. He is currently in a foster home with cats, another dog & chickens. He showed little interest to the cats (especially if they are boss) but is not good with the chickens.
Squid has a beautiful nature and would make an awesome family dog and adventure buddy. Hes happy to do whatever you are doing and go wherever you go. He would love to join a family with another dog.
He has his basket in the lounge at night when watching TV and he settles down. He can be a little destructive if left on his own mainly paper and plastic so will require some training around this, maybe crate training would benefit him.
He has a real lovely nature and we get lots of sloppy kisses. If you can offer Squid a loving home with a big back yard, he would love to meet you.
Squid will go to his new home desexed, vaccinations started, microchipped & registered on NZCAR & council registered so an adoption fee of $280 is required.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
