REHOME: Milo needs a new home, his owner has become critical in hospital so it’s very heartbreaking and he needs a new home, Milo is 11 months old Male, neutered, vaccinated, reg he is a Labrador x Pointer. He is wonderful, a well behaved boy, he will melt your heart he is a real big sweet heart. He knows all the basic commands is very good at coming back to his name, he loves all dogs and people he will be best suited to a house with no cats as he is a chaser, but I think he is quite capable of being trained to not do so if you are willing to work with him. He is great with children(including young children), he needs to go to a loving home who has the time and energy to give him. He loves his walkies and very well behaved in the car, a beautiful boy indeed. If you have any questions or interested please message me.

Sometimes our beautiful companions have some extra special needs.
While we do what we can to give them love, assurance, and see to their general health needs, there are some things that we need to ask additional help for.

While we do what we can to give them love, assurance, and see to their general health needs, there are some things that we need to ask additional help for.
We have Fabian, Josie, Magpie and Minka that, due to age; bad diet; or not getting the care they deserved before coming to us, require dental care ranging from teeth cleaning, to teeth extraction (one has just had their dental).
Dental care is expensive and costs between $400 and $800 per cat. Total this by 4 and we are looking at a vet bill of $1,600 to $3,200.
Being a charitable organisation means we relay on all you generous humans to help us look after our furry friends who have to yet to find their forever homes.
We have set up a Givealittle page in the hope that you can help us to help them. If you can, please donate at givealittle.co.nz...
for this specific cause. (Every dollar helps.).
Thank you for your support as we can't do it without you.

We’re really glad Upper Hutt’s Cannon Point Walkway is now open.

This is one of Upper Hutt’s most popular bush tracks, starting from Tulsa Park in Totara Park and heading up the hill via the zig- zag to the trig. It’s also one of the main walking access routes into Akatarawa Forest so respect all signage as some of the walk is on private land.
No dogs are allowed due to farming and people should also watch out for vehicles, logging trucks and mountain bikers, although with 15,000 hectares in this park there is plenty of room for everyone.
Does your garden need some TLC ? Well I can help! Big jobs , small Jobs on going Jobs we can help. Check out a small project I am doing at home with my 3 Sons - getting ready for spring! Also I’ll add a link to face book for some of our latest Work.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?
Make your open home a success with these tips!

1. DE-PERSONALISE
Buyers want to picture themselves living in a property, so remove anything that’s too personal, like family photos.
2. DE-CLUTTER
Less is more. Remove ornaments that make the place feel cluttered, keep the kitchen benches clear and get rid of the pile of coats or shoes you usually keep by the front door.
3. LIGHTEN UP
Make the place feel open and inviting by turning the lights on and opening curtains and blinds. On a sunny day open doors leading to outdoor entertaining areas.
4. THINK ABOUT THE SMALL THINGS
Small touches can make all the difference. Remove your half-empty shampoo bottles from the shower, tuck away your toothbrushes, remove washing from the line and pop the toilet seat down.
5. AMP UP THE STREET APPEAL
Make the right kind of first impression by ensuring the front of your property is tidy and well presented. A fresh lick of paint on the front fence and water blasting the front deck are easy ways of making the place look its best. Consider hiring some eye-catching potted plants to cost-effectively add a drop of style.
6. CLEAN UP
It might seem obvious, but give the place a thorough spring clean. That includes organising the insides of your cupboards and wardrobes as house hunters will take a peek inside.
7. THINK ABOUT YOUR PETS
Sure, your family loves Oscar the poodle, but potential buyers might not. Get the carpet shampooed to remove any odours and keep your pets off the property during open homes.
8. MAKE EVERY ROOM COUNT
Buyers won’t be able to picture themselves hosting a dinner party if your dining room is piled high with storage boxes or filing cabinets. Make sure every room is selling itself. Put beds in all the bedrooms and clear out the “stuff” that has collected in your garage.
9. FIX EVERYTHING ON YOUR "I'LL GET AROUND TO IT" LIST
Is the latch on the front gate broken? Does the lock on the bathroom door not work? Have old screws left holes in the wall? Patch up and repair the small issues around your home, so buyers see the property’s potential and not the list of DIY they’ll have to sign up to.
10. HOME STAGING
Consider hiring a professional staging company to really bring your house to life. Interior design know-how goes a long way in making a home look its best. A statement couch and on-trend accessories can help your property feel more modern, increasing the emotional appeal of the property in the buyer’s mind.
