THE RSPCA Weston shelter is offering free 12 months pet insurance for two of their dogs.
“This weekend I am including 12 months of pet insurance into the discounted adoption fee for Harley or Mishka,” RSPCA ACT CEO Michael Linke said.
“You can adopt either one of these special dogs this weekend for a total fee of $150 inclusive of desexing, micro chipping, worming, vaccinations and insurance for 12 months.
“Further, I will provide one of my qualified behavioural trainers for up to five years of free telephone support and include two in home visits to ensure Mishka or Harley settle into their new home.”

[box]Meet Mishka and Harley…
Mishka: Big and beautiful only begins to brush the surface when it comes to describing the gorgeous Mishka. He is fun and intelligent, loves to play games when they are on offer but also settles nicely at your feet when you’re ready to relax in the evening. Mishka can sit, drop, shake both hands, is a pleasure to take out and gives the greatest cuddles in the world. Male, Wolfhound X, two and a half years old.
Harley: Can anyone honestly look into Harley’s big brown eyes and not want to take her home! Especially when she puts her ears back, gives her tail a tiny wag and maybe even whimpers a little as if pleading you to take her. Harley knows how to look adorable and will do everything she can to make you fall in love with her, which is very easy to do! Female, brown, Staffy X, two and a half years old. [/box]

![Teacher Vanessa Jones has been living in Higgins since 2001, and while she loves the area, she says she is “fed up” with the neglectful ACT government.
The Higgins shops have been completely abandoned, says Vanessa, preventing the opportunity for residents to have a community-centred space to socialise.
They only received bins nine months ago, she says, and requests for a water station and repairs to the bus station have gone unanswered.
“It’s very, very slow,” says Vanessa.
“I asked for the zebra crossing on Fullagar [Crescent] to be repainted, and we had to wait about six or nine months.
“That’s just such a long time… we pay a lot of rates.”
Vanessa says assistance from the government only seems to go to communities with time-rich and assertive communities, leaving places such as Higgins, where the majority of households have both adults working full-time and English may not be the first language of the family, at an automatic disadvantage.
“If you’ve got two people working, paying a mortgage, raising two or three kids, they don’t have the time,” says Vanessa.
Vanessa says the lack of attention quieter places such as Higgins is receiving is starting to look a lot like favouritism.
