Please send the e-mail letter to New Zealand's incoming Prime Minister at the link below. Rodeo is nothing more than animal abuse disguised as human entertainment - and it needs to be stopped.
All major animal rights and welfare organisations are calling for a total rodeo ban and our support will ensure the suffering (terror, injury, death) of animals at rodeos across the country will end.
Thank you for caring enough to take the time to be part of this historical social change.
Huge thanks to Paw Justice for its recent generous donation of dog food. It was lovely to be able to share some of the bounty with our friends at Dog Protection Society New Zealand and with other dog rescue groups.
We've said before and we say it again - Paw Justice, YOU ROCK! From us and all the rescue dogs, thank you so very much guys.
We also welcome public donations of pet food and animal paraphernalia - be it for cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, hedgehogs or any other creature in strife. If you have something to donate, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We are based in Browns Bay on the North Shore of Auckland.

We will soon be embarking on a large chicken rescue project in the wider Auckland area and will be looking for private loving homes for four different social/family groups.
1). Hens with chicks
2). Hens
3). Roosters (Single or as free-roaming colonies)
4). Older chicks of unknown gender
If you are able to offer a safe, predator-free home to any of these groups, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
NOTE: Interview questions and adoption criteria apply. Photos of your property will be requested and an inspection carried out. Thank you.

We are grieved to advise that we have lost Gracie, our dear little three legged rescue girl, due to a sudden aneurysm.
Twelve years ago we caught her in our humane trap and were shocked that the flesh-less bones of her front leg were running diagonally across her chest... eaten clean by time and insects.
When we took her skeletal body to the vet, euthanasia was recommended because Grace was considered too weak to survive an anaesthetic for amputation. We asked the vet to give her a chance.
Grace made a full recovery and a feisty, frightened personality emerged. Eventually she learned to trust us and responded to gentle touch. Being an "exclusive bonder", we were unable to put Grace up for adoption. She has lived her life sleeping with her favourite humans at night and exploring our home-based shelter with her lunging gait.
Grace became extremely loving as the years passed and was the most prolific head-bunter we have ever encountered. Her loud purr rings in our ears and we so miss the softness of her fur as she slept against us under the sheets. Gracie knew unconditional love, care and safety... and this brings us immense comfort.
Having an animal shelter that accepts "difficult cases" inevitably means some of the rescue animals stay with us for the length of their natural lifespans... however long or short that may be. Yes, we weep frequently, but wouldn't miss sharing the journeys of these beautiful courageous souls.
Thank you Gracie - you enriched our lives and reminded us every day that euthanasia must be a last resort. Farewell sweet girl.

Please sign and share this petition to stop innocent turkeys being flung from aeroplanes in October every year as part of community "entertainment" in Yellville, Arkansas.
Last year two of the hapless birds plummeted to their deaths while others sustained injuries. Thank you.
