An Update On Floyd...
The Auckland SPCA would like to thank the many, many people who have contacted us by phone, letter and email regarding the Labrador-cross pup that was mistreated by youths on Sunday evening, 29 August, in the Auckland suburb of Papakura.
We have been overwhelmed with support and offers of a new home for Floyd, who is recovering at the SPCA shelter and progressing well.
A Police officer who was involved in the incident has fallen in love with Floyd and wants to give him a new home, which is a wonderful end to a distressing story.
Our sincere thanks goes out to everyone who offered their support and homes for Floyd. The SPCA could not continue to do the work we do without the support of the community and people such as yourselves.
Cupcake DayYea! What an awesome day! Thanks to everyone who supported the 2010 Cup Cake Day event on Monday 30 August, it was a truly spectacular response, with SPCA Auckland stalls raising over $9,300.00.
A special thank you also to our wonderful volunteers, who braved a chilly winter's morning, to set up the stands. Thank you to our sponsors Women's Weekly, and Sky City, Icing on the Cake and AUT for baking thousands of cup cakes for us. Also big thanks to Bidvest who have supported the day by donating the ingredients for AUT, Huhtamaki New Zealand Ltd for donating trays used to carry all those yummy cup cakes on the day, and Milly's Kitchen for creating all the gorgeous cup cakes for the media release.
Money is still coming in from all the lovely cupcake cooks who fundraised in their community, so we will keep you updated !

Rooster Pens Project
The pens for our roosters and hens are in dire need of replacement.
They have survived well over the last 15-20 years, but we’re now at the stage where we are constantly repairing them. Currently, we’re housing 41 hens & roosters, some of which have to be separated from others, some are resident at the Animal Village, some are strays and some are awaiting adoption.
So, we've come up with a basic design that we think will work very well [more...]
IS YOUR PET MICROCHIPPED? IF NOT, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT...
Great news! The SPCA Auckland is now offering a microchipping service for all cats and dogs.
We are aiming to increase the number of animals returned to their owners from 2%, which to us means, of the 14,000 animals that came into us last year, only 260 were returned to their owners via details from their microchips.
We want to see your animals come home to you, faster, and with a microchip this is possible. If your animal is brought into us at the SPCA as a stray, we will scan it and if it has a microchip, we can contact you within seconds of finding your details, as long as they are kept up to date.
To get your cat or dog booked in for a microchip, all you need to do is call the SPCA Auckland, make an appointment with our Call Centre staff, and you will be given a time to arrive. Please phone 09 256 7300 ext 851 or 852. Please note the following dates for public microchipping:
THE BENEFITS OF MICROCHIPPING YOUR ANIMAL INCLUDE:
So ring us today and book your appointment... We don’t speak cat or dog but we do speak microchip!

Assis's Memorial Bear Kitchen
In 2008, Animals' Voice magazine launched a successul campaign to rescue a bear from a Chinese bear bile farm. That bear was named Assisi, but unfortunately he succumbed to his life-threatening medical condition within a few months of gaining his freedom.
It is in Assis's memory that the website www.bearkitchen.org.nz has been created to raise funds to build a bear kitchen in Chengdu to replace that which was destroyed by the Schizuan earthquake.
The Assisi Bear Kitchen will be used to feed future rescued bears.
Animal House
Animal House, the series that follows the fascinating and fraught journey of the staff, volunteers and animals at SPCA Auckland headquarters, has now finished for the year.
Thanks for watching and is you missed an episode you can go online to the TVNZ wevsite and catch up here!
Watch senior SPCA Inspector Vicki Border on Good Morning here.
Glue Traps
Glueboard traps were declared 'restricted' traps due to animal welfare concerns over the pain and distress exhibited by captured rodents, the length of time that live animals may be left on the traps and the potential for the inhumane disposal of live captured animals.
For more information, or to report where you may have seen these traps for sale, please call SPCA Auckland on 09 2567300.
As of 1 January 2010, use of these traps is illegal, unless the traps are used by:
1. commercial pest control operators; 2. people employed to conduct pest control on food production premises (excluding retail); 3. Department of Conservation employees and contractors; and 4. boat operators transporting people or goods to and from islands that are free from mammalian pests, or who are working close to these islands.
Unless the person using these traps fits within one of the above exceptions, the SPCA can initiate enforcement action.
SPCA Auckland Inc. is a registered charity with the Charities Commission #CC36223
