Outstanding local animal control team effort to celebrate

Cara from Ngaruawahia

7 year old husky type impounded with grossly infected eyes from entropia of top and bottom lashes in both eyes. 7 years of pain and discomfort. Best thing that could have happened to her was find her way into the pound... because... thanks to the big hearts at the pound, funds have been raised to get her the surgery she desperately needs so she can start life fresh with new and improved eyes.

See plenty of bad press about pounds around the country so let's level the playing field with a good news story.

She will need a suitably fabulous home post surgery so any prospective home offers need to go to Amanda D at Waikato District Council pound team - 078248633 or 0800492452

Kudos to the team, they do a fab and unenviable job in our community.

Plenty of dogs and pups needing homes in pounds and rescues that support them - so adopt don't shop and stop unnecessary breeding. 💕

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
