But a fast-rising toll of death and serious spinal injuries is now forcing leaden-footed authorities to take action. Waikato Regional Council says warning signs installed on the Raglan footbridge after the death of Richard Keremeta, 16, are regularly ripped down, and have to be replaced.

Advertising on behalf: Summer Age: 18months old Just over knee height
Breed: Lab x

Here is what her mum has to say about this gorgeous girl. "Summer is beautiful friendly girl, loves lots of cuddles attention and will lick your face for hours if you let her!! She loves playing chase and tuggawar, and will sit on your lap lol. She is very very gentle when taking treats, I just say nicely and she will take the treat with her front teeth! She knows sit, down, stay, roll over and we have been working on her re-call. We use commands which we learnt through her trainer. Summer is also crate trained. She will need somewhere with good fencing. I think she would also love a home with another dog as she just loves other dogs!! She chases cats....and I think older dog savvy kids would be better than little ones as she's very energetic. She is desexed, vaccinated, registered, microchipped etc. Genuine reason for rehoming and a very hard decision.

Warning as our Society gets more problems:

Talking to several people I have found this isn't a rare happening but actually more common annoyance than expected with several other stories of similar trouble. These work vehicles and similar vehicles have tyres which cost several hundred dollars to replace and it seems a fair amount of vandalism is stabbing the tyres where the only repair is full tyre replacement. Please keep your eyes out for these lunatics and lets put a stop to more destruction of others lives as this problem is made easier by so many hiding on their computers while the world passes them by.

Breed: Greyhound X
Age: 2 year old
Location: Tauhei area
Polar is looking for a new home. She was adopted from DC about a year ago. Since then she has been training as a land sled dog but unfortunately her feet are not standing up to the longer distances on rougher ground that is required for the sport and she would be happiest in a different home. This is a tough decision but is the best decision for her.

Here's what her current owner has to say about her: "Polar is a very happy and energetic girl who is used to running around in the country with her doggie friends. She is very fit and will need the chance to run around every day. For the last year she has been an outside dog, but enjoys her inside time when she can get it. Very good manners inside and house trained. She has lived with my 8 year old son and new born girl with no problem, but can get over excited sometimes."

Polar is easy to have around, was crated indoors while in care here with no issues. She has great drive and is very speedy & fit so would also suit other dog sports such as agility. Social with other dogs, and was around my cat while in care last year. Polar requires a home where she can receive a good amount of exercise, and have plenty of love & training. Polar has had a few homes already (no fault of her own) so would really love her next home to be forever.

**Original ad** Meet Polar! Polar has the sweetest nature and is very submissive. She would be great in a home with kids. She is easy to have around and knows all the basic commands. Polar is toilet trained and also crate trained. She is currently fostered with 3 other dogs and would love a home with another dog! She is super social and plays very nicely. She likes to be close to people and will be your best buddy. She is quite speedy and learns quickly so would make a good agility dog. Breed: Greyhound x She isnt very tall but has a very slim build. Age: Approx 1 year Located: Hamilton She is great with other dogs, very playful and loves to swim! Polar would be best suited to a home without chickens. She would probably be okay with a confident cat. Polar will go to her new home desexed, at least first vaccination, microchipped, registered with NZCAR, council registered, worm/flea treated so an adoption donation is asked to help recover part of her rescue costs.
