Our 18-month-old boy who is looking for a family to call his own.

Chico started his life in a very neglectful situation; he survived starvation, negligence & manhandling. He is now safe & living at our shelter. All he needs to complete his rescue is a special home. Chico is a very active teenager who likes to play and cuddle! After everything this poor boy has been though we can’t wait for him to find a loving family!

If you are interested in adopting Chico please visit the Cat Adoptions page of our website where you will find his full story & our contact details. Thank you!

He is a beautiful 3-year-old Kooikerhondje x Papillon who weighs under 9kg.

Buddy is looking for his forever home! A few weeks ago we rescued him from a lethal injection at a dog pound. He is now in Auckland, while waiting for his ideal home. Buddy is super friendly; he will need daily walks, to attend group obedience classes & lots of cuddles. He would be best suited to an individual, a couple or a family with older children who can give him all of the love, fun & attention he deserves!

If you are interested in adopting Buddy please visit the Dog Adoption page of our website where you will also find our contact details, thank you!

Watch TV1 on Sunday 29th June at 7pm to see what happens behind the doors of New Zealand’s pig factory farms. The current affairs show Sunday will again reveal what the pork industry doesn't want us to see.

Last year activist group Farmwatch visited a farm in Christchurch and what they found was horrifying. Footage was taken and provided to SAFE who made a complaint to the Ministry for Primary Industries. MPI promised to undertake regular monitoring to ensure the ongoing welfare of the animals.

In April - exactly one year later - Farmwatch revisited the farm. Their shocking findings form the basis of a story that desperately needs to be told…

Sue is absolutely delighted to be one of the guardian angels for rescued dog  Biggles.

She wanted to show her appreciation for our work with animals in strife so has come up with a generous initiative that sees her baking up a storm. Her doggy treats are being handed out at parks, beaches and bushwalks around Auckland to raise awareness and funds for us. Whether or not your dogs are gifted with Biggle’s treats, please support Sue’s hard work and dedication with a donation referenced BIGS. Many thanks in anticipation. The wording on her flyer is below. Huge gratitude to Sue, Biggles and his guardian angels.

Biggles Gives Back

I hope your dog friend enjoys these treats. I’ve baked them to give away to raise awareness and support for Animal Re-homing.

Biggles was abandoned or lost on the North Shore but was under a lucky star when he invited himself into the right home. Animal Re-homing was contacted. Despite extensive advertising and searching, his owners were not found. Now Biggles has permanent guardians, is loved by a number of us and will live out his days happy and secure.

Animal Re-homing is a registered charitable trust (CC50451) dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of animals. Some people are neglectful and cruel to our friends. Thank goodness Animal Re-homing works at the other end of the scale, putting in tireless effort, time, love and money into re-homing. This often involves rescue, vet treatments, rehabilitation, assessment, re-training, medications, feeding, fostering, boarding, exercising, bathing etc until new respectful guardians are found.

I want to help Animal Re-homing to save more animals like Biggles who have not lived the charmed life that we give our pets and I hope you will donate to this cause.
