It’s kitten season, and we need your help!

If you want to help vulnerable animals, but aren’t ready for the long-term commitment of adoption, then fostering could be for you ❤️

Over the next few months, we’re expecting thousands of cats and kittens to come into our care. Many will need time to grow, recover, and heal before they’re ready for adoption – this is where you can come in!

SPCA provides everything you need to foster, including food, bedding, toys, and medication if required. It’s not just cats and kittens that need short-term foster care, but animals like puppies and dogs, rabbits, and farm animals too.

Sign up to foster over on our website today: https://www.spca.nz/foster24

Marley & Pablo are great buddies

25/10/2024

Just look at this beautiful squishy face 🥹

Marley has just become available for adoption! He is a little over a year old and we believe he is a Sharpei mix.

Marley is a gorgeous goofball who just loooves cuddles and playing with other dogs. He has lots of energy but also settles really well for snuggles. Marley is very food focussed which makes his ongoing training much easier. He hasn’t been introduced to small children or cats yet, but given his lovable nature and food drive we would expect this to be very successful with some reward based training.

We are open 10am - 4pm Monday to Saturday so come and meet the lovely Marley this long weekend!

You can also register your interest in him using the link below:

You can take part by creating a fundraiser of your choice, and fundraising all the way up until and including Giving Tuesday. Whether you want to host a bake sale, sell handmade crafts, run a marathon, or have a garage sale, every dollar raised will go towards helping the animals in the care of SPCA 🐱🐶

Sign up to take part in Giving Tuesday on our Fundraising Hub! https://fundraise.spca.nz/

We love Wednesdays 💕💕

Why? Because we have these 2 amazing volunteers come and visit our dogs every single Wednesday- rain, hail or shine.

Eden walks the dogs, whilst Glynis goes into every pen and sits calmly with them, giving lots of love and cuddles. Both these activities are so important to enrich the days of a shelter dog.

We would really love some more volunteers for dog walking, or if mobility is an issue then just sitting and giving cuddles is something that all the dogs just soak up. If anyone is interested please do get in touch with us and become an important part of the SPCA Far North family 🙏

We would also welcome volunteers in our cattery to help with feeding, cleaning litter trays and just spending time with the cats giving them cuddles.

A huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers for the time that you give to the animals, we truly appreciate everything that you do for our centre

Today’s office companion 🐷 💕

We have taken in 3 orphaned piglets, and they are 7 days old now. They do have homes lined up already 👏 So adorable!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We have decided to open to the public this Sunday 20th, as it is the final day of the current campaign offering 25% off adoption fees for our dogs and puppies! Normally we are closed on Sundays.

So we will be open ALL this weekend 10am-4pm at 45 Sandys Road Waipapa. This is a perfect opportunity to come in and find a gorgeous doggo to be your new best friend. Coz we all know that shelter dogs make the most grateful, loving and loyal pets. Bring the whanau!

Adoption fee for puppies is only $150, and for adult dogs it’s a mere $112. For that you get a dog that is desexed, vaccinated, health checked and up to date with flea and worm treatment. Cheap as!

Head over to our website https://www.spca.nz/centre/kerikeri-centre to have a look - if you are interested in a particular dog please get in touch (by phone, email or messenger) as a few of our dogs and puppies are out in foster but we can arrange for them to come into the centre to meet you.

These are a few of the faces currently waiting to be chosen 💙

Please share and spread the word 📣

They are 8 weeks old now and had a great time together!

Introducing Frank, a very special boy 💕💕

Frank was found by a caring member of the public, he’d been attacked by 2 dogs and had a fairly major throat wound. We arranged for him to go to straight to the amazing team at Phoenix Animal Wellness, when they went in to stitch him up it was discovered that there were older throat wounds and scar tissue underneath his current one, meaning that this wasn’t the first time that poor Frank had been attacked. In addition to his throat wound and bites all over his head, he was underweight and also had significant demodectic mange. And he wasn’t even a year old yet 😥

Frank has been with us for 2 months now, slowly healing both physically and emotionally. We are thrilled with his progress and we are now looking for a special family who can give Frankie boy the love he craves and deserves.

We were a little concerned that given his background, he could be reactive with other dogs but that hasn’t been the case at all. Frank absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs, he’s an incredibly forgiving fella who just wants to make friends and play all day. He also adores human attention and cuddles ❤️.

Come and meet Frank this weekend, we are open 10am-4pm Mondays to Saturdays. It’s a perfect time to visit our centre as currently there is 25% off the adoption fee for all dogs and puppies. We’d also appreciate this post being shared far and wide so we can find a wonderful home for Frank.
