SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Camilla

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Hi everyone, My name is Camilla and as you can see, I am a very beautiful girl. I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
