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...

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.

"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."

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.

"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."

Welly is an unusual town. While in many ways it is very sophisticated, yet there are literally no bars here where people in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s can dance and mix and mingle with those of a similar age. Many yearn for the days when they could let loose at “Boogie Wonderland” and hang out at “Hummingbird”. However, wait no more. That that has changed.
I am from Miami, love to party and to throw parities. Every Friday, my meetup.com group, "40's, 50's, and 60's Get Off Your Ass and Have Fun" meet at a different bar with a great dance floor and will either have the entire bar to ourselves or a large portion of it. We will play the best of the ‘70’s, ‘80’s, and ‘90’s dance music. Even if you don’t dance though, you will have fun just grooving to the high energy from the others who are.
Both couples and singles are invited. However, ours is not a dating meetup. Its purpose is to provide comfortable venues where we can make new friends of both sexes and enjoy the company of our old friends.
There will never be a cover charge. In fact, just the opposite. We will always have drink specials until 10:00 (but you do not have to drink have fun) and complimentary nibbles. It will be my personal pleasure to greet you and to introduce you to the others.
You can join for free at www.meetup.com...
Best wishes - Michael
