Maggie the dog.

"Hi there my name is Maggie, I am a loveable lady looking for my forever home. In my previous home I had someone home with me full time and when left alone for periods at a time I have shown the ability to escape out of medium height fencing. So my new home would need to have high fencing and a plan for during the day if left alone that does not include being tied or tethered. I would love a home that has older children that have grown up around strong dogs and a home that has had experience with dogs. I have had a fair bit of training but there is always room to learn more things so would love a home that could put the time into teaching me. If you think you are the home for me get in touch with the canine team to learn more about me."

To help minimise waste, we've made a few changes to how you visit the Southern Landfill.

When you arrive at the landfill, please visit the Tip Shop & Recycle Centre first to drop off reusables and recyclables. Then head up to the Transfer Station to drop off green waste, tyres, batteries, hazardous waste and general rubbish.

As you enter the Transfer Station please let our weigh bridge staff know if you have items to separate out. If you have more than one type of waste you may be asked to loop back through the weighbridge so that the correct charges can be applied.

Thousands of daily train users may have to pay to park their vehicles at stations around the Wellington region.
Regional council chair Daran Ponter said the proposal was in response to increasing demand for park and ride facilities, and the cost of constructing multi-level parking buildings to meet that demand was prohibitive.
The proposal to do away with free park and ride spaces, is in the Greater Wellington Regional Council's draft Regional Public Transport Plan 2021-2031. Submissions close at the end of today (Friday).

🐈‍⬛Looking for long term foster homes 🐈

In the last few months I've unfortunately lost many fosterers for all good reasons (foster fails 🙊) and I'm desperately in need of new foster homes, if I can't find anymkre reliable foster homes i may have to cut down on intake.

I currently have two long term foster homes (one is having renovations so will be taking a break march onwards) and about 3 short term fosterers that aren't always available.

I'm looking for people who can commit to long term fostering and people who are comfortable taking in larger litters and adult cats.

What's needed?:

♡A safe home
♡ LOVE
♡Pet friendly home
♡Commitmemt
♡Transportation
♡Live in or near the city (tawa, ngaio boundary-ish) if you are located in the hutt please contact Neko Ngeru Cat Adoption Cafe
♡Good Communication
♡ oh and love

What's ideal but not necessary?:

♡A separate room
♡Time when handling younger kits with no mum, if mums there she does all the work.
♡Funds to supply food and litter but if needed am able to reimburse, vet bills and stuff like that is covered.

It doesn't matter if you have a big family, live alone, have other pets 💖

Please PM me if this sounds like something you could be interested in or if you have any questions.

Thank you, Kirihika ( Pōneke Ngeru Rescue )
