Free vaccinations for dogs

Vanessa from Riccarton

Christchurch City Council


Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust, Kowhai Vet, Avonside Wainoni Vet Clinic and Christchurch City Council are teaming up to give out free parvo vaccinations and microchips for dogs over six months old in the Eastgate Mall car park on Wednesday 23 July and Saturday 26 July🐾🐕‍🦺

In April, Dogwatch rescued an expectant mother who they then found out had parvo. After giving birth, all pups had to be humanely euthanised as they had no chance of survival.

Dogwatch Adoption Centre Manager Rae Rossiter says one little vaccination would have changed the outcome for all of those dogs, and that's what prompted them to organise this event.

The clinic will be open from 10am - 4pm, bookings are not required. Find more information on Newsline:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
