TIME IS RUNNING OUT! YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR DAYS LEFT!

The National Team from

Our 'Keeping Woofers Warm' winter campaign has already helped over 50 dogs so far. We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has donated to us, the vet clinics who have supported us, and to those who reached out requesting these items for their dog - together we can make a difference for canines out in the community.

There are just FOUR DAYS LEFT for people to register their interest and our Wellington and Masterton Centres still have plenty of blanket supplies left to give out to the community. By the end of the week, it's our mission to see all of these blankets with canines who need them. Wellington, will you help us?

PLEASE, if you have a canine who will be spending a lot of time outside this winter, have an outside dog who needs blankets for their kennel, or you know someone who needs these items for their fur baby, our team urges you to get in touch as soon as possible.

Contact our team TODAY by emailing wellington.info@spca.nz, along with the following information, and we will be in touch:

- Owner’s name
- Contact number
- Address
- Type of dog
- Dog size
- Nearest SPCA Centre (Wellington or Masterton)
- Are you able to collect from your nearest centre (Yes or No)

Registrations close on Monday 5 July, so you have only FOUR DAYS LEFT!

We have only had small dog jackets donated and have very limited supplies available, so our team will be providing additional blankets to those with larger dogs.

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

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! The more canines we can help together, the better.

Summer on the South Coast

Trevor from Breaker Bay

Summer is here again! Fantastic weather beckoning all to get out and enjoy it.
So my request is, if you are cycling, running, walking on our beautiful south coast roads between Breaker Bay and Ohwiro Bay - please be courteous to all road users, even those of us stuck in cars.
The roads are scenic, but they are also narrow, with lots of blind corners. This makes it very difficult for faster moving traffic (cars) to pass slower moving traffic (cycles, walkers, runners). On a bad day this can result in frustrated cars making rash decisions to overtake - putting everyone in danger.
If you are enjoying the coast road on a cycle, and there are cars behind you, please do be considerate and pull over when you have a chance so that they can pass. "Hugging the left" does not really help on a narrow road with blindspots. Stopping is ideal.
If you are enjoying coast on foot, please be conscious of visibility and stay off the road where possible.
If you are enjoying the coast in a car, please be courteous to others - good will spreads, unfortunately so does selfishness.
Lastly - everyone watch out for penguins, they were here first but they don't read Neighbourly or road signs.
Happy and Safe summer everyone.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
