WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there. As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself. I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information.

Karori Lions Karnival -- SAVED BY THE BELL!!!!!

Bulletin Editor from Karori Lions Club

You will all appreciate just how relieved we were to hear Prime Minister Jacinda announce yesterday that, apart from Auckland, the country would be able to revert to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 - just in time for us to be able to avoid cancelling our 50th annual Karori Lions Karnival on Ben Burn Park … View moreYou will all appreciate just how relieved we were to hear Prime Minister Jacinda announce yesterday that, apart from Auckland, the country would be able to revert to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 - just in time for us to be able to avoid cancelling our 50th annual Karori Lions Karnival on Ben Burn Park this coming Sunday!
So, it is all GO! No rain forecast - a little cloud in the morning and fine in the afternoon. We'll have over 60 stalls again, including our own Karori Lions Book Tent, our own renowned hot dog stall and white elephant stall, along with games and other activities for the kids, a great line-up of entertainers on the stage, and other tempting food stalls. Something for everybody!
