Our SPCA Pet of the Day this week is Pippa the dog.

"My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there.
As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself.
I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information."

The Wellington SPCA is appealing for donations for a puppy recently rescued in Upper Hutt.
At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.

So there is an acute shortage of industrial land within the Greater Wellington area.
Surely Upper Hutt should come to the rescue.
Buoyant at the moment due to a sharp rise in new commercial, recreational and residential activity, Upper Hutt is at last getting its available commercial areas and pockets of land and properties utilised. And this will increase no doubt when a major commercial area in Lower Hutt shuts down through Hutt River flood management procedures.
But commercial does not equate to industrial.
So Upper Hutt with an abundance of land which could be made available for industries, should get going to fulfill such a demand. It can only further advance the new appetite for the positive development of Upper Hutt.
