This winter, our SPCA Wellington and Masterton Centres are heading out into the community to supply blankets and jackets to dogs living outside in kennels in the Wellington and Wairarapa region.

Just like us, animals feel the chill and over the winter months, so it’s important to provide your pets with extra shelter and more blankets to keep them dry and warm. It’s getting cold out there and our animals need protection from the elements too!

SPCA doesn’t want to see any dogs going without this winter. But... we need YOUR help to make this happen! Do you have any unused blankets or dog jackets? Our Wellington and Masterton Centres would greatly appreciate any donations of blankets and dog jackets to help canines out in the cold! Your donations will be vital in making a difference for dogs in our community.

If you have any blankets or dog jackets that you would like to donate, these can be dropped off at our Wellington or Masterton Centres, or at one of the following locations listed on our website: www.spca.nz.... We will be accepting donations for two weeks, from today till the 27 June.

Is your outside dog in need of a blanket for their kennel and a jacket this winter? Or do you know someone who would appreciate these items for their outdoor canine? Please reach out to our team by emailing wellington.info@spca.nz, with information on how many dogs require blankets and their sizes, and our team will be in touch.

PLEASE NOTE: This service is only available in Wellington and Wairarapa. Conditions apply, for more information please visit our website at www.spca.nz...

New Zealand's first Anne Frank memorial unveiled in Wellington

In a grass clearing overlooking Wellington a memorial in the form of three steel chairs has been installed.
Unlike a typical memorial consisting of a park bench and a plaque with an idyllic view of the city, the chairs engage in simple object theatre, designer Matthijs Siljee​ said.
“If new visitors were to walk up the path and their eye level comes level with the grass, they will all of a sudden think ‘hey someone has left some chairs behind.' It is in that unassuming way that the memorial will introduce itself to the visitors,” Siljee said.
Located in Ellice Park in Mt Victoria, the memorial is the first of its kind in New Zealand, commemorating Anne Frank and the 1.5 million children who were killed during the holocaust.
The layout represents discrimination and prejudice, the chairman of Anne Frank Projects and the driver behind the project, Boyd Klap​ said.

This week we feature a picture from Rosa Marie.
Has anybody got any ideas for a caption?

"Thanks to a wonderful husband who took me there and a low tide, Pāuatahanui was a bird photographer's dream this afternoon! Masses of kingfishers who were either sitting on bits of driftwood or logs, in between catching little crabs, a pile of shags who were in a very flappy mood and were constantly splashing about in the water, a pair of Caspian terns who didn't seem to be getting on too well, a blue heron who was getting annoyed by a seagull who was swooping over him. So much to see and photograph! It helped wearing some wellies so I could wade in to get some closer shots."

Well done Jason Judd

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Jason Judd first ran out, barefoot on frosty ground, in 1972 aged five. He ran out on Saturday for his 500th game of rugby with the Wellington Football Club amid his 50th consecutive season of playing rugby.
The fact his team lost was almost irrelevant.

The fact his team lost was almost irrelevant.
Past club president Keith Quinn said it was a great effort by Judd, who is 54.
“I don't know how he does it,” Quinn said.

Our SPCA Pet of the Day is Lulu.

"I am a sweet dog looking for my forever home. I am looking for a very special home that can understand my quirks and needs, a home that can help me thrive and be the best companion I can be.
My ideal home would be one that has had previous large dog experience and/or greyhound experience. I walk beautifully on a lead but in saying that, I would need a home that can handle me as I can be strong when I want. I have had a fair amount of training from my previous home but there is always room for more growth. I am super smart and a lover of all yummy foods so will pick up new things very quickly.
I can be shy when meeting new people so I would love a quiet patient home that can read when I am not comfortable. A home with no children would be best for me. Being part greyhound, I am also not suited to a home with cats or any small animals. If you think you are the home for me contact SPCA’s Canine Team for more information."
