Is your fun worth this kind of fear?

If you’re one of the majority of New Zealanders who agree that fireworks aren’t worth the fear they cause animals, now’s your chance to stand up for them by signing our open letter.

From next Monday 2 November until Wednesday 5 November, fireworks will be available for public sale in New Zealand. But what many see as a harmless bit of fun causes real, lasting harm for animals.

It’s time for change, because the terror fireworks cause isn’t worth the momentary fun of setting them off. There are countless stories of animals being terrified, injured, and even killed by fireworks-related incidences. There’s no excuse to continue this kind of cruelty year after year—especially when research shows that the majority of New Zealanders support a ban on the private sale and use of fireworks.

Ahead of Guy Fawkes Day, we need your help to tell the incoming Parliament that change is overdue. Because your fun isn’t worth their fear.

Sign our open letter to help us end fireworks’ reign of terror for good: https://www.spca.nz/fireworks-ban

Three legs, a rough start, but a heart full of love. MEET KOBA! 💕

Little Koba hasn't had the easiest start to life. At such a young age, he's already been through more than any puppy should, including losing his right hind leg due to an old injury.

But despite everything, Koba hasn't lost his cheeky personality, playful spirit or his ability to love. ❤️

This gorgeous boy is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He can be nervous meeting new people, especially men, but once he learns to trust you, he becomes the sweetest little shadow, following you around and soaking up every cuddle he can get. 🥹💕

And don't let those three legs fool you! Koba still loves his walks, zoomies and playing with anything he can get his paws on. He's full of life, love and puppy antics! 🐶

But what Koba is missing most isn't his fourth leg. It's a family to call his own. 💔

He needs someone patient and understanding, someone who will help him build confidence, support his physical needs and love him through every little milestone.

Koba doesn't need pity. He just needs someone to give him the chance at happiness he deserves. 🏡❤️

He's already overcome so much in his short life. Now it's time for his next chapter to be filled with love, security and a forever family.

🐾 Could you be Koba's happy ending?

📩 Please get in touch if you'd like to give this special boy a forever home.

🐾💕 MEET MIKA & SOPHIE 💕🐾
Beautiful Mika and Sophie are two lovely older girls who are hoping someone will open their heart and home to them. 🏡❤️
These precious ladies deserve to spend their golden years feeling safe, loved and cherished.
They don't ask for much, just a cosy place to sleep, a little kindness, and a family to call their own. 🥹💗
🐱 Mika and Sophie can be adopted separately, so each girl has the chance to find her own perfect forever home.
Sadly, older cats are often overlooked, but they have just as much love to give as younger ones. They deserve their happy endings too. 💕
🌸 Could you be the one to give Mika or Sophie the love and security they deserve?
📩 Please get in touch if you'd like to know more about adopting either of these beautiful girls.
❤️ Please share! Their forever families might be just one share away. 🐾💕

And then there were two... Bo Peep and Dolly 🐾

One by one, they've watched their brothers and sisters leave in the arms of their new families. 🏡❤️ Happy endings, wagging tails, and the beginning of beautiful new lives. But for Bo Peep and Dolly, their turn hasn't come yet. 🥺💔

These two precious little girls are still waiting. Waiting for someone to look at them and say, "You're the one. You're coming home with me." ❤️

They don't know why their siblings have all gone. They don't know what it means to be the last ones waiting.

All they know is that they have so much love to give, tiny tails ready to wag, little paws ready to follow you everywhere, and hearts just waiting to belong to someone. 🐾💕

Bo Peep and Dolly aren't asking for much. Just a warm bed, a safe place to land, a family to love, and someone who will never give up on them.

They deserve the same happy ending their brothers and sisters have found. They deserve to be someone's whole world. 🌎❤️

✨ Could YOU be the happy ending they've been waiting for? ✨

Let's not let these beautiful girls be forgotten just because they're the last two.

Please apply online via the links provided if you can offer one of these sweet girls a loving forever home. And if you can't adopt, PLEASE SHARE. 🙏❤️

Somewhere out there are two families who don't yet know that a little piece of their heart is waiting for them. Let's help Bo Peep and Dolly find their people. Their siblings got their happy endings. Now it's their turn 🥹💗
