“The hard truth is that Delta is here and not going away,” Ardern said.

"We were part of a group of guinea pigs that our family could no longer care for, so now we are looking for a new home together.
We are still getting used to being with people, so don't like to be picked up. Our confidence is slowly improving. We are very cute and great to watch. We will need a large grass area with a weatherproof hutch for day time. We need to come inside at night to spend time with our family, and to help us keep safe from the weather and other animals."

If we sound like the kind of new family member you have been looking for, please get in touch. 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.

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.
