I am looking for a rural house or cottage of one bedroom or more with a garage to rent in the Kapiti coast or Horowhenua area. Please contact me if you have something available or know of anybody that may have something suitable.
Would be very grateful if someone has one lying around that they wanted to part with with for free or cheap.
Thanks.

"This is a photo of my five year-old retired greyhound Bella in her favourite position on the couch. I have had Bella for three years and she is my second adopted (not rescued) greyhound. Before her I had Harley for 9 years. Greyhounds are perfect pets: they are affectionate, don’t smell, are very relaxed and need very little exercise. They are not called couch potatoes for nothing!"
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.
