SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Bruce

Reporter Community News

"I was taken to SPCA by a kind person who noticed I had an injury needing treatment. I've been putting on weight and getting healthy, and am now ready to go home!
I'm a handsome, goofy, gentle giant who is loving and eager to please. I've been learning to walk nicely on a lead while at SPCA and am very responsive to treats and human affection. While I enjoy a walk, I'm also happy just to have a cuddle, and Netflix and chill.
I've made a few canine girlfriends at the centre, and mix best with larger girls who are happy to play and don't mind some barking. I am not suitable for a home with cats or small animals at this stage. I would be happy to live with teenage kids."

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
