Please help if you can.
Volunteers are needed for the Upper Hutt Animal Rescue Society - especially weekdays (but the weekends would be great too).
We cannot continue our good work without volunteers.
We are open 7 days a week. Can you spare us any of your valuable time?
Can you help out our furry friends but cleaning out their apartments and feeding them 10am to 12 noon?
Can you help the humans with hanging out and bringing in washing and help the duty officers, and/or help socialize our cats and kittens by involving them in play time - 12noon - 2pm .
If you can help in any of these vital areas please fill out our Volunteer application form: www.animalrescue.org.nz....
Or if you want any more information, contact the Society on 04-5262672.
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
