I am looking for an experienced home to help me learn the necessities, continue my socialisation and help me thrive in my new home. Due to my age, I'm not able to be left alone for more than a few hours at a time, though it's a great time to continue my puppy training. I am yet to be tested with small animals, and could learn from an existing male dog in the home. I am better suited to a house with confident teenagers, rather than children. If you're keen to meet me, apply to adopt me and the canine team will be in touch!"

Native bird numbers have increased by 50 per cent over the last ten years in Wellington. That is the result of the latest bird survey carried out by the Wellington City Council.
Key findings from the report:
- We are now two and a half times more likely to see kākā throughout the city. These beautiful birds are spreading far and wide, finding new places to live. Some are even visiting our neighbours in Porirua and the Hutt Valley.
- Kākāriki have seen the largest increase – 500% up from 10 years ago – and they are now well established in some of reserves.
- Tūī have increased by 121%. While these birds were already common, they’re loving feeding on the Harakeke and Kowhai planted through our restoration programme.
