DOG REHOME - Thank you all for you responses to Milo.
Thank you all for your responses to Milo - Milo has found a lovely new home in Christchurch and will be travelling down next week to a new beginning with his new family.
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.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
