Adopt Me!
Age: 7 months.
Breed: Lab x.
Location: Rural Hamilton.
Meet Squid!
This poor dude was found in a farm drain at 4 weeks old. He is a sweet loving boy full of energy and will need to be exercised daily.
He grew up around dogs and cats. He is currently in a foster home with cats, another dog & chickens. He showed little interest to the cats (especially if they are boss) but is not good with the chickens.
Squid has a beautiful nature and would make an awesome family dog and adventure buddy. Hes happy to do whatever you are doing and go wherever you go. He would love to join a family with another dog.
He has his basket in the lounge at night when watching TV and he settles down. He can be a little destructive if left on his own mainly paper and plastic so will require some training around this, maybe crate training would benefit him.
He has a real lovely nature and we get lots of sloppy kisses. If you can offer Squid a loving home with a big back yard, he would love to meet you.
Squid will go to his new home desexed, vaccinations started, microchipped & registered on NZCAR & council registered so an adoption fee of $280 is required.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
