The dog shelter, which has been on site for 53 years, is getting an upgrade to its facilities and security systems, including new cages, self-contained kennels, a plumbing refurbishment, and improved security cameras installed.
The upgrades are estimated to cost $120K and be completed by the end of February.

My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information.
You might remember that a few months ago Neighbourly featured a picture of Muhammad Ali holding a young baby in Upper Hutt.
That baby was Jason Tarawhiti, who lives in Hamilton and who cherishes that picture.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:
• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients
The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.
Something a bit different this week. Photographer Andrew Gorrie took this photo at the end of January.
