💙 Meet Max 💙

Max is a lovable, oversized cuddle bug who just adores humans. This sweet boy is a big fella but he’s very gentle and loves being close to people - leaning in for cuddles and belly rubs whenever he can.

Max loves his daily strolls and walks really well on a lead, he’s a real favourite amongst our staff and volunteers due to his gorgeous nature. He is not a fan of cats though, so he needs a cat free home.

If you’re looking for a big hearted companion with a lot of love to give, Max might be your perfect match. Come in and meet him!

🐾 Calling All Animal Lovers! 🐾

Now that winter is over, we are looking for more dog and cat volunteers to help us enrich the lives of the animals in our shelter 🙏

🐶 Dog volunteers - we are looking for volunteer dog walkers to help give our furry friends the exercise and companionship they need. If dog walking isn’t your thing, it’s also very valuable to just sit in the pens with our dogs to give them love and cuddles 💙

🐱 Cat volunteers- these amazing people help us to feed the cats/kittens and clean cages etc, then it’s cuddle time!

🔨 We are also keen to hear from anyone with some building experience or if you happen to be an amazing home maintenance person, we would dearly love some assistance with improving our facilities for the animals!

Why volunteer?
✅ Spend quality time with lonely dogs, puppies, cats and kittens
✅ Enjoy fresh air and light exercise
✅ Make a big difference in a puppy or kitten’s life
✅ Gain some useful work experience for your CV
✅ Meet fellow animal lovers and become a valued part of our team

No experience needed—just a love for animals, confidence in handling them and a willingness to help! It only takes an hour or two out of your day to make a big impact in their lives 🐾

📍 45 Sandys Road Waipapa

A lot has changed about Loki in the 7 months he’s been available for adoption. But one thing’s remained the same: his dazzling smile 🥰

This sweetheart has grown up mostly in our Kerikeri Centre, waiting for his family to choose him. And as much as he’s loved and cared for by our team, they know it’s beyond time for him to settle into a forever home.

Could you be the one Loki’s been waiting for? This , apply to bring him home – or choose another one of his long-stay Centre mates! www.spca.nz/loveforlongstays

As we shine a light on our Long Stay animals this month, Loki currently has the sad title of being our longest staying animal 😔

Loki came to us in January as a very young puppy, along with his two siblings. His brother and sister have long since gone to loving homes, but somehow Loki is still waiting. Day after day, he watches other dogs get chosen while he’s overlooked, even though he has just as much love to give.

Loki is a goofy, loveable boy who has grown into a striking young dog. One of our favourite quirks is that Loki will wrinkle his top lip and “smile” at us! He also spins when excited 🤣 Loki loves to run, play, and show off his cheeky personality, but he also adores cuddles and affection.

He’s grown up in a shelter when he should have been growing up in a home — learning about the world with his very own family. And as a result, Loki needs a home without cats, or other small animals such as chickens. He will also need kindness and patience whilst he adjusts and learns about life inside a home.

This boy will keep you entertained for years to come, come in and meet him! 🐾

😾 Double the grump, double the love! 😾

Meet Archie & Veronica; a brother–sister duo with the best grouchy faces you’ve ever seen. Don’t be fooled by their expressions though – these two are actually total cuddlebugs who have spent all 7 of their years together being each other’s shadow.

They’re a bonded pair and must be adopted together (don’t even think about splitting up this iconic duo – they’ll be giving you the side-eye for life). Archie is the softie with a squishy personality, and Veronica… well, she’s also smoochy but she’ll probably still look super unimpressed, even while she’s happily purring in your lap.

Adopt Archie & Veronica today – because life’s better with two cats who look perpetually annoyed but secretly adore you. 💕
