"Hi there my name is Vader aka Vaddie. I came into SPCA under unfortunate circumstances and have been under the care of the Veterinarian and Canine Team. I am now ready for my forever home.
It has taken a bit of time for me to come out of my shell and learn to trust people but once to do I am very loving and loyal. I would love quiet, predictable home with someone around for parts or all of the day as I am not comfortable with being left alone and thrive with company. I would love a home that enjoys going for walks and adventures but at the same understands that I am not always comfortable around the hustle and bustle of city life, I can be a very sensitive soul. I do however, have a playful side. I love playing with toys."

The Snapper pilot will begin in October on the Johnsonville Rail Line, subject to the final completion of commercial negotiations.

Wellington was originally meant to add card payments to trains back in 2015, under a Waka Kotahi plan to expand Auckland’s AT HOP card to the capital.

With Hutt Valley High School’s mould-riddled C Block slated for demolition, the school’s board chairman says a much wider redevelopment is needed to avoid history being repeated.
In March, several classrooms in the school's C Block were evacuated and sealed off after unsafe levels of black mould were detected. Following more testing, thirteen learning spaces and a dance studio were closed which has forced senior students to work from home when term two started this week.

After a month of outrage and claims it failed to act, the Ministry of Education announced last week it intended to demolish the problematic building but the school’s chairman of the board of trustees, Hamish Bowen, says other parts of the school such as the E and M Blocks also needed to go,.

“It’s easy to fixate on C Block as the only problem, but it goes wider than that. Other buildings built around the same time have the same problems.”
