SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.
Read more about the current outbreak and the dangers of parvo on our website:

Our Wadestown community know us well, from our work to date on building John’s Track and the gardens around Wadestown Library. We've now set up this page on Neighbourly, to keep you in touch with our latest Wadestown heritage project...

If you're a regular user of John's Track you'll have read our earlier heritage story boards about Spike Milligan Corner, and Philip Myers Park. Since making those, we've been researching other sites of significance in Wadestown. Some of these were once celebrated on a Heritage Trust board outside the library. We're working on replacing it and linking it to a Heritage Trail for you and your family to enjoy walking and learning more about each site, and our local history.

More later. We'll post on Neighbourly each month to let you know how we're going with the Trail. And we hope you'll get in touch to share any family memories you have about Wadestown as it was.

As residents of William Sanders Village, they frequently clock up 12 kilometres in a day, enjoying the charm of their local neighbourhood.

Jenny Pattrick, one of Aotearoa’s most loved writers (The Denniston Rose) and director, Lyndee-Jane Rutherford (Prima Facie), present, HOPE, a family drama rising hot from within.

In the near future, a controversial government bill bars people with terminal illnesses from receiving treatment. Pianist Irina, a Ukrainian refugee, is cared for at home by her son with a dubious mix of natural and illegal remedies. When Irina’s feisty daughter returns from the war and a famous former pupil appears on their doorstep, hope and delusion blur together making us question the morality of fighting for your life and your loved ones.

On at Circa Theatre, 25 January - 23 February 2025.
