I would love to adopt/purchase one of these types of dogs if anyone knows where I can find one - preferably not a puppy maybe one to two years old.

The councl had put up signs reminding people cars are no longer allowed on Titahi Bay beach under the recently updated Porirua City Council Transport Bylaw.
There will be regular patrols by parking wardens and security contractors to enforce the bylaw. You can still drive on to the beach to launch a boat, and you can park your vehicle and trailer above the high tide line following launch.
If you own a boatshed, you can drive on to the beach to load or unload your things, but your car must then be parked on the road.
Tell us what you think of the new by-laws?

The council has launched a team of “recycling ambassadors” who will go around checking the contents of recycling bins before they are collected.
Stuff understands that the material being put out includes raw meat and used nappies.
The number of contaminated items in the recycling has been rising in several areas throughout the city, costing between $6000 and $8000 a month to remove.
Do you think it is fair to confiscate recycling bins?

I'm a handsome, goofy, gentle giant who is loving and eager to please. I've been learning to walk nicely on a lead while at SPCA and am very responsive to treats and human affection. While I enjoy a walk, I'm also happy just to have a cuddle, and Netflix and chill.
I've made a few canine girlfriends at the centre, and mix best with larger girls who are happy to play and don't mind some barking. I am not suitable for a home with cats or small animals at this stage. I would be happy to live with teenage kids."

The awards, which recognise outstanding volunteer work in the community, will take place at a special ceremony on 17 May.
“The Porirua Civic Awards acknowledge and honour the massive impact our volunteers are making in our city – their work is especially valued in these challenging pandemic times,” says Porirua City Mayor Anita Baker.
“I want to urge everyone to take the time to nominate our local legends who are the embodiment of the Porirua spirit – those who jump in to help and support the different needs in our community without asking anything back.
“The nominees we’ve had in previous years are inspiring due to the leadership, sacrifice, devotion they display. It makes me proud to see those nominations come in.
”Mayor Baker says that Porirua Civic Awards are the city’s highest honour and recognise the varied and important work volunteers carry out. More than 100 residents have received them, since the awards were introduced in 1993.
People can be nominated for volunteering in the areas of the environment, children and young people, social services, cultural activities, recreation, the arts, older adults, education, and other suitable services.
“From helping to fundraise for neighbourhood support and residents’ associations, our Rotary and Lions clubs, to running community events, there is so much that happens in our city that just wouldn’t be possible without the time they give.”
“Times are tough, and the ongoing pandemic has added another layer of challenges for our community. Please take the time to nominate a local hero that has done a great job this past year to lighten the load and embody the community spirit that we know exists in Porirua,” says Mayor Baker.
Entries close on 21 February. Award details, a guide to nominations, and the nomination form, are available on the Porirua City website: poriruacity.govt.nz/civic-awards
