Puppy looking for a new home, free

Teri from Ohauiti

A month ago our family adopted a lab/staffy mix puppy from SPCA and we are sad to say we need to find him a new home. SPCA is full and he isn't fitting well in our environment.

SPCA is full and he isn't fitting well in our environment. He is healthy, 4 months old, and loves people. He is a bit shy and needs help adjusting to new sounds and experiences. We are a fairly active and energetic household with kids and after a month, we think we are too intense for this pup.
His name is Rocky and he is neutered, full shots, dewormed, no fleas or mites, clean bill of health from the vet, and a perfect dog for snuggles. He has been hit and miss on housebreaking depending on the weather and how quiet things are. Would be a great dog in a single or quiet couple environment. Please contact me, Teri, at 021 836 818. Would love to get him in a home better fitting his personality. Will include treats, toys, and supplies with him. Thanks.

However, many injured Kiwis seeking to dispute rejected claims are concerned ACC is using private attorneys to outsmart them.

Russel Watts, 50, from Taupo, said he postponed his review earlier this week after he found out he'd be facing off against a senior corporate attorney from Wellington.
