Developing relationships and sharing resources with other like minded charitable organisations sharing the same vision and purpose.

These two puppies were dumped. I find that absolutely heart breaking. But these two cuties are just a tiny part of a crisis with dogs in our country.

It hurts me to say that 6500 dogs were put down by Auckland Council in one year. 💔

6500 dogs euthanised. 💔

The owners don’t care, they let them roam, and don’t pick them up when they are impounded. Then there are the attacks, the fear in our communities.

And these poor dogs just keep breeding and breeding. IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE DOGS. But we have to do something. I think most New Zealanders will be shocked by the scale of the dog issue.
It is now a major social problem up and down the country. I am calling it our “roaming dog crisis”. And it really is an issue for all of us.

PLEASE WATCH TONIGHT ON TV3. Please share this important investigation!!!

CHAINED DOG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎉 SPCA is thrilled with Minister Hoggard’s announcement today on the new regulations to target the prolonged tethering of dogs, which will come into effect 25 September.

The new regulations state that a person must not tether a dog if it results in observable signs of suffering linked to the prolonged tethering. Certain categories of vulnerable dogs including puppies and pregnant dogs cannot be tethered at all apart from in a few exceptional cases.

“This is long-fought and hard-won victory for dogs across Aotearoa,” says Dr Alison Vaughan, SPCA’s Scientific Officer. “These changes won’t solve every case overnight, but it’s a step forward that will permit our Inspectors to act in situations where they couldn’t before."

The changes are a direct outcome of SPCA's work behind the scenes with MPI and the Minister, the powerful backing of supporters through our ‘Break the Chain’ campaign and the work of other animal rescues including HUHANZ and Chained Dog Awareness NZ. Thank you to everyone who supported this important work and contributed to this long-awaited outcome 🙏
