15th wedding anniversary get-away... after 8 years!

Running our animal rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing shelter is a comprehensive and full-time job requiring at least one experienced person on-site at all times. For this reason, founders Linda and Paul had not been able to have a holiday together for eight years!

That all changed last weekend when Imogen took care of everything so they could celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary with a three night break in Rotorua. Gareth kindly gave her moral support while volunteers Onjoli and Arionne assisted for an afternoon and Maggie, Gemma, Bella, Angie, Nicole, Lynn and Neil ensured all the dogs were given stimulating walks and experiences.

Linda and Paul say, “It was so lovely to experience being a ‘normal’ couple spending some special time together without any responsibility. We loved zip-lining above the canopy of a gorgeous forest with Rotorua Canopy Tours, taking in a movie, soaking in mineral pools, finding delicious vegan eateries, walking aimlessly through markets and just reconnecting with one another. It was slow-down sanity time. Huge thanks to Imogen and everyone else who made it possible”.

Volunteers Imogen, Arionne and Onjoli are pictured below with various fur-babies.

Pablo would love someone to take him to the beach

Check out this video of Pablo having a great time at the beach with volunteer Angie and her dog Ella!

Pablo is a sweet 2-year-old boy who has so much love to give. He adores people, gets on beautifully with other dogs, and would make an excellent companion for an individual, couple or family. Pablo lives life with enthusiasm! He loves active, off leash walks in the bush, beaches and parks, but also needs someone who will chill out and give him plenty of affection.

Gorgeous kittens seek gentle caregivers

Four tiny kittens were found alone under a house without a mother cat to care for them - and thankfully they were rescued.

These beautiful 10-week-old babies are looking for loving homes. Bella is a pretty little tabby and her brothers Magic, Jack and Tintin are equally gorgeous. If your children are over seven and you would like to apply to adopt one (or more) of these sweet little kitties, please contact our fosterer Billie at 021 671 712 or e-mail her at This email address is being protected from spambots.

NOTE: If you would also like to be one of our cat, dog, or other animal fosterers, we would love to hear from you! Please e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Our final silent vigil to raise public awareness and get rodeo banned in New Zealand

alt Join us this coming Saturday 20th Feb to be part of animal rights history! It will be our final silent vigil to raise public awareness and get rodeo banned in New Zealand. We will be meeting up with the crowd of peaceful protestors outside the Kihikihi Domain from 1pm – 2pm. For more details click here.

We are carpooling and driving in convoy from the North Shore of Auckland, leaving at 10am. Let us know if you will be coming, need a ride or can offer a car. If you prefer to make your own way there, please tell us how many are in your group.

All signs and banners will be provided by Direct Animal Action. Bring a black top as we will all be wearing one for the demonstration.
