Help us give our foster dogs an awesome Christmas!!
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?

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
