SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Ivy
Meet Ivy, who is looking for a new home.
"Hi there my name is Ivy and I am looking for my forever home. I am a super smart dog so would love a home that is keen on taking me to obedience classes and furthering my training. This is help me become the best companion I know I can be and this also provides me with enrichment. My new home would need to have someone around for most or parts of the day as I am not used to being left alone for long periods. I would love a home with kids that are confident around dogs as I can be a bit bouncy when interacting with people. My new home could have a dog, one that is social and is happy to share their home and people with me. I have yet to be cat tested. I do come with a medical waiver my home family would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the home for you click apply to see if we are a match."

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
