MEDIA IGNORES RACEHORSE DEATH

"Show Us Plenty" was the thirteenth racehorse to die on the tracks in Aotearoa this year. He was only four-years-old and was euthanised at Ashburton Racecourse earlier this month after breaking his humerus during a race. His death was not reported by mainstream media, nor was he mentioned on NZ Thoroughbred Racing's social media.

According to the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses and other advocacy groups, horse deaths in the racing industry are grossly under-reported. These victims deaths must not be overlooked; we want each victim to be remembered and recognized for the individual that they were. Show Us Plenty was not a commodity, or a piece of sports equipment. He suffered tremendous pain before he was killed. He deserved better. His stable name was Red.

Please boycott horse racing as well as all other forms of animal exploitation, and join us to spread awareness about this abusive industry.

6,000 PEOPLE BYPASSED AMBER ? PLEASE SHARE

A month ago we advertised dear Amber and more than 6,100 people read her post... but sadly, not a single person inquired after her.

We know there is an ideal home out there for our nervous girl, so please help us to find it.

? RE-INTRODUCING AMBER ?

This beautiful 20kg, 4-year-old Whippet X Staffy came to us with bleeding paws from being dragged along the footpath when she was afraid to go with her "caregivers". She had suffered from physical abuse and was known in her street because she ran from house to house seeking refuge.

Due to her trauma, Amber has fear, noise and trust issues and is afraid of entering unfamiliar vehicles.

Our amazing volunteers have made incredible advances with her, but she now needs the stability of a routine home-life to progress further.

We are looking for a patient and kind home with an individual or people who will take time to know her, and who will actively work with her primary volunteer walker to raise her confidence, and win her trust.

Amber needs a cat and child-free home, but could thrive in the company of a welcoming, self-assured resident dog.

Once she is relaxed with our volunteers, Amber loves to go for walks, to fetch balls and frisbees, to splash in the water or to chill in their homes with them.

This intelligent little girl is bursting with potential, eagerness and hope.

If you live in the wider Auckland area, have a fully and securely fenced & gated property and would like the opportunity to shape and adopt this nervous soul, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thank you. ?

? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SO MUCH LOVE? ?

PLEASE SHARE

Just like her name, this young lady is a beautiful Pearl - who must be stroked, cherished and valued in a new, strictly indoor home.

With an amputated hind leg, Pearl's gait is unusual, which led to the other cats in her family misinterpreting her body language, and relentlessly bullying her.

If you can offer Pearl affection galore in a secure indoor environment with no other cats, we would love to hear from you. Apartments, catios and a cat-friendly dog are welcome.

Thank you.
EDIT TO VIDEO:
Pearl may be comfortable living with a gentle dog.

Introducing Pearl

Introducing Pearl, the cuddliest bundle of soft fur imaginable. ❤

Come back tomorrow afternoon to see what happened when she met her lovely foster Mum for the first time.

This 3-year-old girl is currently in Auckland and she craves a home with tons of affection and interaction. Once she is adopted, she will never let you go...

See you tomorrow for a surprising video clip.
