The rules have changed

Adopting a puppy has opened the entrepreneurial door for a resourceful and enterprising 11-year-old Mount Maunganui student.

Flo Scrivener has not only raised $300 for the RRR animal rescue charity through her crafty design ideas, but she and younger sister Mabel, 8, now have a new furry family member.

eir father Marcel Scrivener says the family recently fostered two puppies from a litter of 10 that was dropped at RRR. Named ‘Ebony’ and ‘Al e’, they were two weeks old when they arrived last September. “ e plan was to just keep them for a few weeks over the school holidays.”

Flo and Mabel bottle-fed the two puppies, including getting up to feed them in the night.
