Meet Mini!!
Meet Mini!
Breed: Sharpei x
Age: 4 years
Mini was a DC girl almost 4 years ago, she had been purchased with a stolen cheque, driven half way across the country with another dog in a stolen car, then ended up in the pound at only 4-5 weeks old. We couldn't leave her there the day we seen her so home she came.
She has been living in an awesome family home, been to puppy school, and due to a change in circumstances she now needs to be rehomed.
Mini can be wary of strange men but warms up to them very quickly. Medium build, approx 21 kgs. She enjoys a good walk, is playful and loves company. She would suit a home with an experienced older or retired couple wanting a dog to take out and about. She's a very sweet natured dog and submissive with people. She is low-medium energy level. Vaccines are up to date. An adoption fee of $180 is asked to help cover costs while in our care.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Discovery of remains could answer one question but leave more
It’s been more than 900 days since Alvina Smith last saw her partner Shane Edwards - standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes.
Now, if human remains found near a Tokoroa creek turn out to be his, it’ll resolve at least one of her many questions.
