Animal fun day
Donna Doolittle’s Animal Rescue in Kaitāia is hosting a Massive Doolittle’s Family Fun Day on June 1. There will be free desexing, microchip and vaccinations on offer at the Children’s Centre Kaitāia, behind the Te Ahu Centre from 9am to 3pm. Dog owners can also visit the nutrition table and learn how to make dog food on a budget, and buy homemade dog food and quality biscuits at a reduced price. Puppies will be available for adoption to good homes, and there will be a sale on bedding, collars, leads, bowls, warm winter jackets, toys and litter trays, along with spot prizes and raffles. If you want to have an animal-related stall at the event email donna@ddar.org.nz.
