Animal Adoption from the SPCA
From NOW until Sunday 2nd August - so if you're considering a new pet, please adopt an animal from our SPCA Animal Village at Mangere. Our SPCA adoption areas are currently overrun with beautiful adult cats and dogs desperately needing a new home.
Adult cat $ 62.50, cat seniors $47.50 and dogs $107.50 - $117.50, puppies $183.75 - $198.75
Many of these lovely animals have been waiting a long time to find that special person or family who will open their hearts and make room in their home for a new four legged friend. We're still receiving large numbers of incoming animals, so there are more animals waiting for an available space in our adoption area.
All SPCA animals available for adoption are desexed, micro chipped and have passed the SPCA health and temperament evaluation.
Please come to the Auckland SPCA if you feel you can make a difference and help these animals find a new home!
HELP ! KITTEN FOSTER HOMES URGENTLY NEEDEDFoster homes for cats and kittens are still desperately needed!
If you think you can look after a few very cute bundles of fluff for about 3-4 weeks (all food, litter, and supplies provided by us at no cost to you), please contact our Foster Co-ordinator, Rebecca Laird, by email: rebecca.laird@spca.org.nz or phone 09 2562525.

INHUMANE TREATMENT OF PIGS MUST STOPThe SPCA has renewed its call for a ban on sow stalls and farrowing crates, following last night's screening by TVNZ's 'Sunday' Programme of footage of pigs subjected to these extreme forms of confinement.
"We call on Agriculture Minister David Carter to ensure that the Animal Welfare Code for Pigs is altered, as soon as possible, to ban these cruel practices," says the SPCA's National Chief Executive, Robyn Kippenberger. "It is total nonsense for a code that is meant to reflect the humane principles of the 1999 Animal Welfare Act, to allow pigs to be kept for most of their lives in such tight conditions that they can't even turn round. Pigs are an intelligent and sensitive species and there is considerable evidence that this type of ongoing cruelty can lead to demented behaviour, such as biting their cage bars."
SPCA Auckland Executive Director, Bob Kerridge, agrees "This cruel and barbaric method of farming totally contravenes the Animal Welfare Act and is aided and abetted by a 'Code of Welfare' trhat allows it. How crazy is that! No animal deserves such treatment and we must do all we can to stop it." he says [more...]
Can You Help This Quiet Old Fella?
He'll need to go to a permanent retirment home with plenty of grazing, shelter and have an owner knowledgeable about horses who can provide excellent care. Recently we have had many horses come in and have been very successful in rehoming many of them, however we still have a few left, including 'Buddy', if you think you could give any of them a home please go to our livestock adoption page.
Unfortunately during this period our old harrow gave up the ghost and so we are looking for a used or new one to help us keep care of the paddocks these horses occupy. If you have one you could donate or would like to make a donation towards it, please contact fiona.mcdonald@spca.org.nz
