🐾💛 Casper 🐾💛
We are looking for a new forever home for Casper.
She is approximately a 7-month-old female Shar-pei cross.
She is very social with other dogs, is learning some basic training and is walking very well on a lead.
She will have her first vaccine, is up to date with worming but will need to be desexed.
Casper is looking for a home with preferably another dog for her to play and grow up with.
She will need special care in the summer not to get sunburnt.
Casper requires a home that will allow her to be inside and be a part of the family.
If you would love to provide a forever home for Casper, please contact us on 0800 932 4357.

Kia Ora Koutou, fenced off our rewai patch in anticipation of planting if the rain holds off.
Our construction site in the middle of the maara is starting to be filled in and I look forward to our paths being reinstated.
I have started to pull our mustard plant out that I used over winter to suppress the weeds and nourish the soil with nitrogen and will be using the plant to layer the bottom of our planter boxes. This is about being sustainable and re-feeding your soil.

💦🏊♀️ Waitomo District Aquatic Centre opens 1 October 💦🏊♀️
The Waitomo District Aquatic Centre will be open to the public from Tuesday 1 October.
However, due to the gas line being vandalised at the pool complex, the pools will be cold for the first few days.
A full repair is scheduled for tomorrow, and this won’t affect opening day, but it will take a few days for the pools to fully heat up.
Thank you for your understanding.

🚴♀️💚🚴
It's Mental Health Awareness Week and this years theme is "Community is what we create together". 👯♀️🚲❤
A great way to build this sense of community is through exercise, particularly cycling.
Cycling not only provides a chance to connect with others and enjoy the outdoors but also offers a great form of physical exercise - all key contributors to good mental and physical health.
Cycling has so many benefits, from increased energy levels and improved mood to better quality sleep. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or haven’t ridden in years, cycling is a powerful way to boost your overall wellbeing. So, get out there and start pedaling for both your mental and physically health this week and beyond!
