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.

From their website:
"We provide only the highest quality products for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats and mice, but also have a growing collection for cats, dogs, birds, and reptiles. We are committed to enriching the lives of small animals across New Zealand." www.bunnybusiness.co.nz

Even before Rosh and her husband Sat adopted Dexter - an exceptionally cuddly, one-eyed cat from us; they were kindly supporting our work with animals in strife... and have continued to do so.

When we met them, their beautiful cat Smudge, and their dear dog Simba, we were delighted to approve lucky Dexter's adoption.

Tragically, an aggressive illness struck gentle Simba and it quickly stole his life... much too early. It's heartbreaking to lose our cherished animal companions. Rosh and Sat are devastated and in mourning for their perfect boy.

Even so, they found the strength to come to our shelter and tearfully gift us all of Simba's belongings, soft toys for the dogs we rescue, chicken/pigeon feed, and a box of assorted cat and dog food.

We are so grateful to this special couple for entrusting us with Simba's property, and for assisting our charity whenever they can.

Rest peacefully Simba. Even in your passing, your sweet spirit is helping the journey of the dogs under our umbrella.

Note: Please check the comments to see a video clip of rescue dog, Lewis, relishing one of Simba's toys.

Jon Snow was living rough through a bitter winter when we repeatedly saw him shivering, and trying to find shelter under a palm or fern frond, while heavy rain beat down around him. He was dirty, soaked, and forlorn. We brought him into our care.

Yesterday we gave him a thorough vet check, a dental clean & polish with two teeth extracted, a blood test, urinalysis, nail clip, ear clean, etc.

We are so happy that the results show that he is in excellent health.

Even though Steve from East Coast Bays Vet Clinic has kindly offered a discounted rate to assist with our multiple cat dental fundraiser, Jon Snow's bill is over $900. (See invoice in images).

Please help us with this significant cost, so we can book the next cat, named Pearl, in with Steve. Thank you so much!⚘️

UPDATE: We were misinformed.
This dog was last seen at the Browns Road Countdown carpark in Manurewa - not in Browns Bay on the North Shore.

IS THIS YOUR BEAUTIFUL DOG?
A member of the public photographed her, without a collar, in Browns Bay Woolworths carpark.

This dog clearly needs to be with her puppies, so we have been searching Browns Bay vet, parks, beach, and shopping centre, without success.

If she is your girl, or if she is safely back with you, please let us know on this post or by private message, so everyone can relax. Our email address is This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thank you.

NOTE:
We would also like to know whether the red colour on her abdomen is blood, medical lotion, sunshine through thin skin, spraypaint, etc.
