SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Camilla

I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."

New leather boots ( red boots sold)

I bought these boots in Auckland , but found they are not a perfect fit for me and I have never worn them.
The red boots are genuine leather with non-slip rubber soles. They are marked as a size 41 (11) which is my size, but they are a too tight when I wear socks, so they are better for someone who is a size 10. The width is medium. $40
The Unisex black boots are suède with an imitation sheepskin lining. Soles are non-slip synthetic. It says size 10 inside, but they are quite big on me ( size 11 W) so that may be a man’s size 10. Great for winter.
$20.

DANCE. THEATRE. FARCE.

Tawata Productions

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

A rural marae has hit the jackpot – if they pass one final hurdle, that is.

The haukāinga must convince the Government’s Chief Executive of the Department of ‘Whenua, Whakapapa and Whatever’ that they are the true descendants of their eponymous ancestor!

If they are successful at doing so, the vast coastline in their rohe reverts to their ownership, garnering millions of dollars… in back rent alone.

Part theatre, part dance, part cinema, this ground-breaking work from acclaimed Māori playwright and director Hone Kouka shows 18 - 25 June at Circa Theatre, book now at Circa.co.nz.

Meet Ivy, who is looking for a new home.
"Hi there my name is Ivy and I am looking for my forever home. I am a super smart dog so would love a home that is keen on taking me to obedience classes and furthering my training. This is help me become the best companion I know I can be and this also provides me with enrichment. My new home would need to have someone around for most or parts of the day as I am not used to being left alone for long periods. I would love a home with kids that are confident around dogs as I can be a bit bouncy when interacting with people. My new home could have a dog, one that is social and is happy to share their home and people with me. I have yet to be cat tested. I do come with a medical waiver my home family would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the home for you click apply to see if we are a match."

"This is a photo of my five year-old retired greyhound Bella in her favourite position on the couch. I have had Bella for three years and she is my second adopted (not rescued) greyhound. Before her I had Harley for 9 years. Greyhounds are perfect pets: they are affectionate, don’t smell, are very relaxed and need very little exercise. They are not called couch potatoes for nothing!"
