Everyone deserves a loving home

We share the belief of this social worker that there is someone to adopt everyone... if only they could be made aware of the waif in need.

Sometimes we make the same decision she did when 'difficult' babies cannot find that special family.

Vernie is a precious big boy

We were walking this beautiful young dog today and loving his affectionate and enthusiastic attitude to life. Vernie is a precious big boy - a Mastiff X.

Sadly people have an unjustified nervousness of brindle-coloured dogs, so they are often slow to be adopted. If you know anyone who is looking for a wonderful, friendly companion, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Even severely ill hedgehogs can be rehabilitated

If you see a sick or injured hedgehog, put him in a secure box with cat food and water. Cover the box and place him somewhere warm and safe until you contact Hedgehog Rescue New Zealand

Even skeletal hedgehogs with severe mange and maggot infestations can make a complete recovery in experienced hands.

Stop cruel animal experiments. Please sign and share

Please sign and share this petition to stop the University of Otago building a huge facility to torture and kill thousands of animals. While other nations have stopped or are phasing out animal experimentation, why is New Zealand proposing to build more cruel laboratories? We need to come out of the barbarism of the dark ages and use much safer, much more reliable, human-based research for human issues.
