Every animal deserves a loving home – but right now, we have over 160 still waiting for theirs. So this month, we're showing a little extra Love for Long Stays! Will you join us?

From 6 to 21 September, adoption for long-stay animals will be by donation/koha for the right home. Our longest-waiting residents around the country – like Tyson here, waiting at our Whanganui Centre – deserve to find their loving families, and we’re making it a little easier to welcome them into yours.

Meet them at www.spca.nz/loveforlongstays – you might just find your new best friend 💙
