STOP RODEO CRUELTY THIS SATURDAY 6th FEB

Two bulls were killed at the rodeo last summer and so far this season, a horse and a bull have already died… in addition to all the usual terror and suffering. To view undercover footage taken at last summer's NZ rodeo circuit go to https://youtu.be/e8zvRSjgy70

This season we have been part of two successful vigils and on Saturday we will be joining the protest at Warkworth A&P Showgrounds from 11am – 12noon. (Heading north on SH1, go through the township. The showgrounds are on your right a little further on and are opposite Hudson Road – where there is parking).

We are carpooling and driving in convoy from the North Shore of Auckland at 10am. Let us know if you will be coming, need a ride or can offer a car. You are welcome to make your own way there, but please let us know how many are in your group. E-mail us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Again this will be a peaceful visual display aimed at the media to draw public attention to the brutal realities of rodeo – it will not be aimed at rodeo goers or organizers. All signs and banners will be provided by Direct Animal Action. Please wear a black top.

Just can’t make it? Please sign and share the petition so that it reaches 50,000 signatures.

Wow, we really are living in exciting times!

Eating animals is so bad for the environment, your health, and of course the animals involved. Impossible Foods has now created a revolutionary burger patty that looks, tastes and even bleeds exactly like meat, but is produced entirely from plants. We can't wait to sink our teeth into it

When we receive donations of animal products, we not only use them for our own rescue animals, we also share them with other organisations and animals in need.

Often when people become homeless they worry about providing for their beloved animal companions. Depending on our resources we include them under our umbrella to ensure they are as happy and healthy as any other loved pets. Today we enjoyed dropping off another batch of goodies (food, collars, leads, flea & worm treatments, bowls, etc) to some of these cats & dogs and their grateful caregivers. Any donations for these animals are very welcome. At the moment, we especially need dog toys & kongs for them and money towards their veterinary care.

Pablo and Vernie are now looking for families to call their own.

These affectionate rescue pups are healthy, playful, full of beans, and are complete sweethearts who love socialising with people and dogs alike. They are also super adorable and photogenic, so we wanted to share a few pictures we’ve taken since they’ve become Animal Re-homing boys.

Pablo is a 2-year-old white Labrador X and Vernie is an 8-month-old brindle mixed breed pup. They are both strong, energetic dogs who love adventurous walks, and they could happily go to homes with other canine companions.
