WE HAD A CELEBRATION

Time permitting, we always have an end-of-year gathering to celebrate our amazing volunteers.

This year was different, as we were also celebrating six awesome sponsors who enabled a fantastic facility to be built at our shelter.

You may remember the post at his link last year: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EoiVKWjha/

Please come back soon for a video tour of our exciting new development.

A gathering of 25-30 people attended our afternoon tea.

THIS AFTERNOON WE RELEASED SOME OF THE BIRDS

After being in our care, this afternoon we released some of the birds who were recently poisoned with laced food in Browns Bay central.

If you suspect someone is using narcotic bait to harm the town's avian population, please take photos and video footage, and collect a sample of the bait for toxicity testing. Take your concerns to New Zealand Police, Auckland Council, and SPCA New Zealand and provide us with copies/samples too. We may be contacted at This email address is being protected from spambots.

THANK YOU EL CHOPPO LANDSCAPING

When we placed a plea for the use of a hand-pushed lawnmower on three community Facebook pages, El Choppo offered to help out.

We thought they would lend us a mower for the new grass we had planted for the dogs at our shelter.

Imagine our shock when business partners, Seth and Luke, turned up carrying a large box that contained a brand new lawnmower... and donated it to our charity!

Our awesome Trustee Paul, and these lovely men assembled the mower together - admidst smiles and joy.

Thank you Team El Choppo. Your generosity caught us by surprise and made our rescue workload feel less heavy.

This established business has heart. Please support it everyone!

HANK YOU SO MUCH OSBS

When One Stop Bunny Shop heard about our ongoing rescue work with poisoned pigeons in Browns Bay centre, they reached out.

Store assistant, Maryanne, invited us to come and meet the shop owner, Jason, and to collect an awesome donation of animal goodies. They also offered bird food to our charity at a discounted price.

Accompanied by one of the rescue dogs in our care, we headed to their store at 35 Bute Road, Browns Bay.

What lovely people run this beautifully set up shop. We are so grateful to Maryanne and Jason for supporting our charity and lifting our spirits with their kindness and generosity.

One Stop Bunny Shop is currently running lots of specials in the lead-up to the festive season. Please visit the store for all of your animal needs or make enquiries to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
