My 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination
PAWS Pet Animal Welfare Shops in Putāruru. Meg Wilson is the amazing lady who formed the organisation and is run totally by volunteers. There are 3 stores in Putaruru, each one has their own special features and range of stock sold. Everything is kindly donated by our community and the money then goes back into helping pay for the de-sexing people's furbaby's. Another area is rescuing abandoned/badly treated cat's and dogs who quite often come with kitten's/puppies, illnesses and/injuries. Meg love's everyone of these animals and will do her very best.
During the recent Gabrielle cyclone Meg contacted a couple of similar groups and asked what they needed. Meg then asked the community for help with donating clothes, linen, bedding, toiletries, pet food, pet, bedding, etc.
Within 8 days, volunteers had sorted and filled 600+ boxes with clothing etc. A huge truck was filled and Megs wonderful husband drove to Hastings to delivery the goods to a very appreciative group.
For the last 4+ years of volunteering at PAWS have been some of my most satisfying.
Most of the other volunteers have also been with Meg with for a long time because they enjoy doing what they do doing it alongside Meg.
She so deserves this awards. It is part of her

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
