Adoption Day
Come down to Petstock Hastings this Sunday 17th December from 10-3pm. Meet some of the dogs available for adoption & talk to the amazing staff about all your pet needs.
Don't forget to bring some coins for a sausage and Santa may make an appearance too. There will be some mystery prizes to give away and plenty of Petstock lollipops for the kids and Ziwipeak for the pooches if you bring your dog on a lead.
If you have any unopened Dog food, toys or treats you would like to bring to donate to our rescue groups then please do, otherwise you can purchase a donation on the day to put under our Wishing Tree for our rescues.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
