Pinky, female mixed breed, four months old.
"I am small but mighty, full of excitement and curiosity for life. I am sure to make a great addition to a lucky household. My siblings and I have been fostered until we were big enough and old enough to find homes. We have been able to have a start in a home environment before coming back to SPCA for rehoming. As I am still young, I will need a home where I am not left alone for more than a few hours this is until I am older and settled into my new home. I am super social and love having a good play so I could go to a home with an existing gentle dog, or a confident cat. I still have a lot to learn so would love a home that has the time and patience to enroll me in puppy school, this is to help me become the best companion I know I can be."

Mary Potter Hospice now has a “re-gift” card which you can buy for $5 and load with any amount to spend at any of eight Hospice Shops. I've just given one to my 6 year old grandson, who is delighted and can't wait to use it at his local Hospice shop.
When all credit has been spent, your Re-Gift Card can be recycled or topped up in store with more credit and used again. Or you can give it to a friend.
Re-gift cards are also the perfect gifts for corporate partners or clients. Next time you're looking for a gift, shopping at a Hospice shop is such good value and an opportunity to support the great work the Hospice does in the Wellington region.
