Help us give our foster dogs an awesome Christmas!!

Emma Bradley from DC Rescue Dogs

Romeo came from a hoarding situation. At 9 months old he had never been out of the tiny pen he shared with 20 other dogs. Leads, people, houses - they were all completely new and terrifying. But thanks to the help of plenty of yummy treats, toys, foster siblings & lots of patience, Romeo made huge progress. He got to go on adventures. He got to learn how to play. He got to find an awesome new home, and this December he will experience Christmas knowing that he is loved. And seeing that is the best feeling in the world! See his transformation video in the link below.

Now it is our turn to help other dogs in need, and we need your help. Masterpet are giving away 10 Santa Sacks filled with $4,000RRP of toys, treats and more that could help dogs just like Romeo to experience happiness and learn that the world is a pretty great place. Can you help us?

South Waikato mayor Gary Petley will make a public apology, and has sworn off social media after admitting he got it wrong when an online dispute turned sour.

A code of conduct complaint was made by Putāruru ward councillor Zed Latinovic in January after Petley reacted to comments made about council expenditure on Facebook by using the ‘poo emoji’.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
