📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
All Paws Count Murupara Trust is RELOCATING!
For the last 7 month I have been working tirelessly on relocating not only myself but The Trust, which is a huge integral part of me. The decision was not made lightly and sadly, it was the necessary one.
I spent almost 7 years rescuing animals and helping families in need with pets in Murupara and nearby areas. The Trust is my creation, dedication and hard work. I know that I might have not saved every single animal who needed my help, but I am sure, I have made a difference in the lives of so many. It feels like an Era has come to an end for me, but deep down, I know a New Era has already begun....
Please NOTE, the Trust is ONLY RELOCATING, NOT CLOSING! The Trust will carry on the same name, having MURUPARA, forever imprinted in it!
Once I establish myself at our new premises, the work of saving animals in Murupara will continue. Although I will not be physically present here to rescue animals, I will find a way to build a good network of volunteers and foster homes in order to continue the work I have started all those years ago.
To answer a question, many of you might ask - Where are you going?!
The TRUST and I are relocating to Marlborough, South Island. No, it's not a close neighbourhood, but on the brighter side, we will still be in NZ! ☺️🐾
I am very blessed to be surrounded by good people, who supported me unconditionally behind the scenes, to make this relocation a reality.
From day one Team Marlborough Four Paws kicked into action to find suitable premises, where I would be allowed to relocate not only myself, but also existing rescue animals in my immediate care, 15 dogs and cats to be precise. Needless to say, that was a mission impossible, given the situation of rental accomodation in New Zealand right now.
Not only Marlborough Four Paws put a good word to the landlord for me, but also, are helping me to organise the premises with immediate needs to accommodate our dogs and cats, receiving our rescue animals and care for them prior to my arrival and networking on my behalf. I am FOREVER GRATEFUL for THEIR HUGE SUPPORT & HELP, and that is given, that they haven't met me yet!!!! I am so looking forward to being in their beautiful part of New Zealand and continuing my animal rescue work side by side with them.
My amazing foster families and Animal Fostering Hub NZ, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for putting up with my continuous rescue work and taking into your care our non-stop intake of rescue dogs and cats to enable me to carry on helping animals despite relocation.
I am super grateful to Morgan Very Important Paws 🐾 Chauffeur for taking some of my personal and trust belongings across the Strait to ease the cost of relocation.
THANK YOU uncle Morgan, you've done it again!!!
Team A4dibble Pet Transport, you guys rock!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for offering a special trip dedicated only to our rescue animals, once we work out the logistics for the rest of them to travel. Thank you for welcoming our big boy Eclipse and kitty Schelly on board of your trip departing down South yesterday morning.
Lastly, my HUMONGOUS THANK YOU goes to volunteers in Murupara - Cushla, Greer, Raymond and Matt who dedicated this entire long Labour weekend to helping me dismantling our kennels/enclosures and fencing in order to relocate it to our emergency holding facilities at Cushla's, to cleaning our premises as we speak, do the runs to a rubbish skip, mowing the lawns and packing our last bits and bobs.
I am so GRATEFUL for YOUR HELP!
Our SOUTH ISLAND Supporters - a big ask, I need your HELP!
Due to our new premises not being fenced at all, I am in search of second hand temporary fencing to create a safe area to contain our rescue dogs.
If you know of any company, who perhaps have used panels of temporary fencing and would like to sell it as a second hand, please PM us.
To our AMAZING SUPPORTERS around NZ, I need your HELP please with the immediate needs for our rescue animals to cover the cost of:
1. Fetch Covered Dog Run 6m X 4m (TradeTested) x 3 @$999. Total: $2,997
2. Funds to cover Petrol and Ferry crossing.
We will be travelling in 2 trust vehicles and a trailer with 6 rescue dogs from Murupara, Bay of Plenty to Marlbouroght, South Island, making a journey across Cook Strait, to start our NEW BEGINNING!

I, also, would like to take this opportunity to THANK our supporters and followers from wider New Zealand for your continuous support and generosity which you showed me over the years, encouraging and enabling me to carry on with my animal rescue work not only in Murupara but in the wider Bay of Plenty. My animal rescue journey of almost 30 years around the World is not finished yet and only to be continued.....
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM of MY HEART,
Galina❤️🐾
