Adopt a Dog - Chester
Looking for a Loving Home.
CHESTER is a fit and healthy, 9 year old Wheaten Terrier/Labradoodle X Boy. Chester has a lovely temperament, is gentle and loves people. He just wants to please and be with you, lean against you, sit on you and just be cuddled. He is a perfect companion for you or a family.
Unfortunately his current family is moving and are unable take him with them. We’re heartbroken about leaving him and desperately want to find a loving parent or family to adopt him.
Chester will form a very close bond with his new owner or family. Chester is very obedient and follows all basic commands and is easy to teach. He spends his days in our garden when not out for walks. He enjoys regular walks and behaves well on the lead, stopping at a café for coffee and travelling in the car are all activities he enjoys.
Chester spends his evenings inside with the family and sleeps in his own bed in the house.He is great with other dogs of all sizes and loves to play. He is not good with cats.
Chester is de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and registered and is up to date with flea/worm treatments.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday February 26th, 2026
Good People

NOT ONLY FRED DAGG BUT ALSO JOHN CLARKE
New Zealand, 2025, Documentary, 103 mins
Cast: Sam Neill, Ben Elton, Bryan Dawe
Director: Lorin Clarke
When satirist John Clarke died in 2017, the world mourned an icon. He was a defining comedic voice who wrote and appeared in numerous films and TV productions, and who – in a beloved double act with Bryan Dawe – skewered political hypocrisy for almost 30 years on current affairs shows.
In a series of recorded conversations with his daughter, writer/director Lorin Clarke, John traces his steadfast resistance to authority back to his childhood and offers delightful insights into his four decades in the entertainment industry.
Weaving together personal anecdotes, a rich television archive, tales from international comedy greats and riches from Clarke’s work and letters, this is a deeply personal insight into a legend of the antipodean screen and a tribute to the disruptive power of creativity.
"In New Zealand, he was bigger than The Beatles." - Sam Neill
