UPDATE.
Arlos surgery went well he's now resting with his amazing foster mum and getting all the love and attention.

Meet Arlo.

We don't normally take in dogs but he's one we just couldn't turn our backs on.

He's come from a home that wasn't kind to him , so we just couldn't turn our backs.

He's been to the vets and he's had a full check over , he had his first vaccine, flea treatment and wormed micro chipped and he's now registered.

Our vets have found pain in one of his hips so tomorrow he's booked in for X-rays and de sexing
We really want to make sure he's ok as he was beaten ! He's such a kind beautiful boy he never deserved this.

Thanks to an amazing foster home he's learning what it's like to be loved , to have his own warm bed and to be shown nothing but kindness.

Arlo is learning to trust and is coming out of his shell, he's going to be an amazing dog for someone , we will work on finding him.the best of homes in the future.

If you would like to donate to help with Arlos care and other animals that come into the rescue we would really appreciate every dollar,.share and comments.

Figures show how costly it can be to own a pet — but short-term savings can have long-term consequences. 🐶🐱

SNIP ‘N’ CHIP COMES TO HAWKE'S BAY! 🙌🐱

We are excited to be launching a new Snip ‘n’ Chip campaign for cat owners in Napier, Hastings, Waipukurau, Dannevirke, and other areas in the region.

From 5 March 2025 we are working with local participating veterinary clinics to offer this service to cat owners who are struggling with the cost of desexing and microchipping. Vouchers help those in need get their cat desexed and microchipped for $30.

Bookings are now OPEN! 👉 Click the link in the comment section to check if vouchers are available in your area and register for your Snip ‘n’ Chip voucher.

If you know someone who needs help with the online system, you can help by completing the registration with them. Thank you so much to our participating vet clinics for helping us to make this important campaign possible.

PLEASE REMEMBER - a limited number of vouchers are available to help those who require financial assistance. Please, only get a voucher if you need one and intend to use it. In the past, we have noticed some vouchers were never used, or bookings were made with vet clinics and never attended 💔 When this happens, it prevents someone else from using the voucher who might really need it.

For more information, check out our website!

Health Warning – Algal Bloom in Tukituki River at Black Bridge and Walker Road

Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora has issued a health warning for Tukituki River at Black Bridge and Walker Road.

The warning follows finding moderate to high cover of potentially toxic algae (Microcoleus *previously referred to as benthic cyanobacteria*) at both river locations following recreational water monitoring by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.

People should avoid swimming in the area and animals, particularly dogs, should not be allowed near the water until the health warning has been lifted.

Dr Bridget Wilson, Medical Officer of Health for the National Public Health Service in Hawke’s Bay, says the algae looks like dark brown or black mats and can produce toxins harmful to people and animals.

“Exposure may cause skin rashes, nausea, stomach cramps, tingling and numbness around the mouth and fingertips.

“If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your doctor immediately, also let your doctor know if you’ve had contact with dark brown/black algal mats or water in this area,” Dr Wilson says.

There are also other access points along the Tukituki that may have the algae present. As we move into the hot summer months, people are advised to treat every low-flowing river cautiously by checking for the presence of the algal mats and avoiding contact.
