Margate - 4 year old Beagle cross Cocker Spaniel
Margate (Image: Many Tears Animal Rescue) Margate came to us from a breeder in November 2023. He's incredibly intelligent, loves a challenge, and will do absolutely anything for a tasty treat. He picks up tricks like lightning – he knows 'sit', 'paw' and 'speak' and he's always ready to learn more. He thrives when his brain is engaged and would be an excellent candidate for scent work or activities like cani-cross (on-lead only!). He's been described as one of the smartest dogs we've ever worked with.
He's vocal, a bit cheeky, and loves to tell us when it's breakfast time – you can hear his excited barks all the way from the car park. He may come off as bouncy and bold, but beneath the surface, Margate is a sensitive soul who, sadly, has been let down by humans before. He can get worried easily, especially in overwhelming environments like the vet, where he becomes a bit of a puddle of anxiety (though he's muzzle-trained and manages with support).
Margot - 3 year old Cocker Spaniel
Margot (Image: Many Tears Animal Rescue) Margot is a beautiful, affectionate, and playful Cocker Spaniel who is looking for a special adopter to call her own. She absolutely loves cuddles, playing fetch, and going for walks, where her excitement quickly settles into a lovely, loose-lead stroll. Margot has come such a long way since arriving at the rescue, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her sweet and funny personality.
Margot originally came to us from a breeder and was adopted but sadly returned as she began displaying some signs of guarding within the home and her adopter didn't feel able to manage this. For this reason she will be looking for an adult only home with no visiting children and would like adopters who have experience with dogs with similar issues.
Bunny - 3 year old crossbreed

Bunny is a gentle, kind-hearted girl who arrived in the UK after being rescued from the war in Ukraine through War Paws Rescue. While she spent much of her life with another dog, she's now learning to make new friends and is becoming more confident with other dogs. Though she can be shy at first, especially around men, once Bunny trusts you, she's incredibly affectionate and loves to give kisses and enjoys belly rubs.
Bunny needs a patient and understanding home where she can continue to build her confidence. She may need some time to adjust to new sights and sounds, so gentle exposure to the outside world will help her settle in. She'd thrive with a confident resident dog to show her the ropes and would be most comfortable in a quiet home.
Jumbo & Yitty (bonded pair)

Jumbo and Yitty are two gorgeous Poodle crosses who arrived with us a long time ago now. They came in separately, with different stories and different needs, before eventually finding one-another as kennel friends, triggering what would turn out to be the most beautiful bonded pairing.
Jumbo is 5 years old and is super playful, confident and affectionate! He is a fantastic influence to Yitty, who is 4 years old but has not had the best start to her life. Yitty is still very nervous and relies heavily on Jumbo for reassurance.
Bailey - 1 year old Labrador cross Spaniel

Bailey is a bright, bouncy girl looking for an experienced and active home to help her thrive. Originally from a breeder, she was briefly adopted but found the transition overwhelming, so she's back with us and ready to find the right match.
She's full of personality—playful, intelligent, and always ready to learn. Bailey knows several commands already, including 'sit,' 'stay,' 'down,' and even 'middle.' She's eager to train, loves having a job to do, and enjoys games like fetch, tracking, and scent work. With the right guidance, she'll excel in activities that keep her mind and body engaged.

Can Bad Bunny's residency spark sustainable travel among 600K fans?
Puerto Rico has long been known for its vibrant culture, stunning beaches and warm hospitality - but this summer, the island is gearing up for an unprecedented influx of visitors thanks to Bad Bunny's concert residency, "No Me Quiero Ir de Aqui" (I Don't Want to Leave Here). And the effects are being felt far beyond the sold-out seats at Coliseo de Puerto Rico. Everyone's vacationing in Puerto Rico. Can the island handle it? With an estimated 600,000 attendees over the course of the residency, the concert series is sparking what Glorianna Yamin, vice president of marketing at Discover Puerto Rico, called a "peak period for tourism." Halfway around the world, Hawaii's high levels of tourism are having a negative impact on the islands. From overcrowded trails to traffic congestion, the Pacific islands have been actively seeking visitors who want to create a deeper connection with Hawaii. Puerto Rico, for its part, is paying attention. "It's definitely a change for the industry," Yamin said. "The entire tourism industry is getting ready." It's not just about the crowds. Discover Puerto Rico (DPR), the island's destination marketing organization, is using this moment to highlight the importance of responsible and sustainable tourism. "We are making sure that we're educating those visitors; first, so they behave as they should, but also so they're intrigued about our culture, our music, our history, our gastronomy ... things Bad Bunny touches on in his album and already has momentum with," Yamin said. A concert that moves markets, people The residency's announcement on Jan. 13 triggered a spike in travel interest. According to data from ForwardKeys, international flight searches to Puerto Rico jumped to over 510,000 in the week following the announcement - a more than sevenfold increase from the previous week. Cities like Los Angeles, Mexico City and San Francisco led the surge, affirming Bad Bunny's global influence and Puerto Rico's expanding appeal. Hotel and rental bookings also steadily climbed. "Those reservations are much, much higher (compared to last year)," Yamin said. And guests aren't just flying in and out for the weekend. "We're seeing peaks starting maybe Wednesday, Thursday," she added, explaining that many concertgoers are extending their stays. To ensure that the influx of travelers has a positive impact, Discover Puerto Rico launched several campaigns online and in traditional media. One standout effort is the Return the Love initiative, a three-part video series promoting respectful tourism. The second effort brought in 11 local partners (small, medium and large businesses) who offered practical advice on how to responsibly enjoy beaches, forests, and even Puerto Rican slang. "Partners actually got ownership," Yamin explained, referencing the pride local stewards felt. "For example, El Yunque said: 'This is my attraction.' It's about inviting visitors in the right way." Shop 2025 Bad Bunny Puerto Rico tickets The Green Path to Sustainable Travel Another major initiative is The Green Path, a website designed to certify visitors as "responsible travelers." Visitors learn about sustainable lodging, excursions, and dining options through videos, quizzes, and immersive content. Those who complete modules unlock exclusive discounts from participating businesses. "That traveler that wants to go to a place but wants to leave it better than what they found it - that has always been our core," Yamin said. This aligns with the island's broader push to combat crowded or overrun areas by decentralizing tourism beyond the metro area. DPR encourages guests to explore other regions by offering curated itineraries and working closely with local businesses to offer concert-themed promotions. "Many hotels, restaurants, and partners are offering concert-specific packages to extend those visits," Yamin said. A catamaran company is offering a dance-themed "Culebra Cafe and Salsa Tour" sailing experience with East Island Excursions. Local artisans are creating Bad Bunny-themed giveaways. Restaurants are crafting cocktails inspired by song titles. "They're getting very creative," she said, "and I get very excited seeing them ... It's going to impact the entire island." Even amid the challenges of coordinating across the island, she sees this as a proud moment. "We're doing everything that we can for when those visitors come - they come educated, they come ready to explore the island ... but in a responsible way," Yamin added.

Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac channels legendary cartoon character with bold new look
Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac stunned viewers on Friday morning by channelling a legendary cartoon character with his bold new look. The Channel Seven veteran, 43, turned heads sporting a bold moustache and eye-catching green tee during his morning show appearance, paying homage to Ned Flanders from The Simpsons. Sam fully embraced the comparison, donning prescription glasses and playfully greeting viewers with Ned's iconic catchphrase: 'Hi-Diddly-Ho, neighbour! Okilly Dokilly.' He later shared an image of Ned Flanders waving to the camera alongside an image of him doing the same and captioned it with some amusing words. 'After repeated requests to remove the beard... I said okilly dokilly... and here I am back at work making a fresh start (borrowing the emoji's glasses). Ned Flanders? Or someone on a watch-list?,' Sam quipped. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The weatherman has developed a reputation for his cheeky behaviour both on and offscreen. Earlier this week, Sam left fans divided after retuning to Sunrise after a month off with a new look. On Monday, the beloved weatherman appeared on the Channel Seven morning show for the first time since he went on 'dad leave' in May. The TV regular, who shares Margot, two, and Mabel, ten months, with fiancée Rebecca James, debuted a beard which he had grown in his month away from the show. Prior to his first day back, Sam uploaded a picture to Instagram on Sunday telling fans that if the snap of his new facial hair got enough likes he would keep it. 'If this photo gets 10 thousand likes I'll keep the beard for my return to @sunriseon7 on Monday #DadLeaveBeard,' he captioned the post, which showed him holding onto his new bundle of joy. While the Instagram picture failed to garner enough likes before the show, his Facebook post did, resulting in Sam's return to his weatherman gig with a hairy chin. However, it seems many fans were actually not too pleased with the dad-of-two's new look. 'Very good to see Sam Mac back and showing why he is the best at weather. The beard was an interesting addition,' one person wrote on a Sunrise chat forum. In May, the TV weatherman took to Instagram to reveal he would be going on one month's leave. Posting a picture with baby Mabel, he went on to express how excited he was to spend some quality time with his young children. 'This guy is officially on "Dad Leave",' Sam, who welcomed his second child last August, captioned the post. 'So ridiculously excited to have some uninterrupted time with our darling Mabel. I did the same when Margot was a baby and have vivid memories of being there as she took her first steps. 'Now to have more time with her as a toddler is an added bonus (albeit a slightly terrifying one)' he added.
