Lovely Hazel is looking for a new family
I'm helping my friends find a new home for their dog Hazel. The family is simply not able to give Hazel the context she needs with everything they have on their plate (three boys and a full house!).
Hint: Hunt / loyal / working type breed so she’ll enjoy spending time, outdoors and exercising.
Free to a good home or family — but we will want to meet the new owners to check suitability.
Hazel is a mixed breed, but I reckon some Huntaway in there — looks like maybe some Rhodesian or maybe even Black Mouth Cur…. She is gentle, energetic, friendly and curious.
Her mother was a rescue dog and pregnant at the time she was rescued. Hazel has always been in good care. She will turn 1 in November.
She has received about 5 Hours of Professional dog training, a bit more from the family and I'm sure she will adapt quickly and smoothly with a new owner.
Feel free to spread around. 
Message me with a little info about your self a little about your household and your contact number..

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
