Meet Carlos, a male mixed breed who is 14 months old.

"Hi there, my name is Carlos or Mister Wiggle as they like to call me here at the SPCA. I am a bouncy dude that would love a home that loves larger-than-life personalities. I would love to go to a home where my owner is prepared to continue my basic training as I had none prior to SPCA. I am needing a routine where I am not left for more than 4 hours at a time, this is just to begin with, until I am more settled into my new home. I am wary to begin with, with strangers but with a suitable home I will be coming out of my shell in no time, like I have at the SPCA Teenagers or adults would be a good fit for me. I could go to a home with another dog, one that is social, loves a good play and happy to show me the ropes. I can be a bit enthusiastic when meeting other dogs so the dog would need to be patient with me. I may be able to live with a confident cat."

Karori Rotary is celebrating 40 years of service
The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Like all Rotarians, we share the ideal epitomised in the Rotary motto, “Service above Self”, and, like Rotarians everywhere, we translate our passions into relevant social causes to change lives and make lasting improvements locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is one such achievement.
1986: The Marsden Club
The Rotary Club of Karori has supported the Marsden Club in Newcombe Crescent, Karori since its inception 1984. The latter provides quality day programmes for people with dementia and related disorders, and guidance and support to their caregivers.
In 1986, we established the Rotary Karori Marsden Community Trust and, over the next 10 years, raised $186,000 to purchase the Newcombe Crescent property from the Nursing Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.
In 1993, then Trust Chairman and Past President of Karori Rotary, Eric Aston, on behalf of Karori Rotary, arranged for British actress, Stephanie Cole (Aunty Joan in Doc Martin) to tour New Zealand with her one woman performances of plays by Alan Bennett (famed English actor, author, playwright and screenwriter). This tour alone raised $40,000 and helped us complete the purchase of the Newcombe Crescent property in 1996.
Applications for membership are always welcome
If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M021 292 7001.
