Lita's Rescues This page is setup to avoid bull breeds going to SPCA and pounds that follow Breed Specific Legislation protocol. As a vet nurse, I am strongly against BSL

This page intends to be used to link those who find lost and stray animals, with local charities that rescue so we can avoid SPCA and dog pound. Any and all animals can be helped, from the smallest to large farm animals. If you have ever considered fostering I will provide links to your local charities to apply too. Without foster homes and donations, we can't save half as many lives. There are ma

ny things within your community you can do to help that doesn't involve money or fostering if you can't do that. Such as delivering flyers, helping out at market stalls to raise money and awareness. Dog walking and cuddles of dogs needing attention. Transport of animals, and help sharing photos and spreading the word of animals in need. I personally have more then 17 years experience in animal rescue and Vet Nursing. I have hand reared (bottle fed) many litters of kittens and puppies over the years. Links to charities will added as soon as permission to do so has been given.

Ever heard the saying “punches come in bunches”? The universe is really kicking our ass at the moment!!

While the van is off the road after being vandalised, I have been driving wee Eunice. She’s a lovely wee runabout that was donated by a supporter to help us transport dogs around. Eunice has been a much loved member of the team.

Last night dear wee Eunice was stolen! She’s been reported to the police but if you happen to see her around please let us know 🙏 EUA252

We are now 2 vehicles down 🤯
If any local car yards would like to team up with a local dog rescue to sponsor a vehicle - now would be an amazing time! 🙏

Miracle at Sea: Dog Found Alive Days After Yacht Capsizes, Still in Life Jacket

In an incredible turn of events, a curly-coat retriever named Rimu has been reunited with her owner after surviving four days at sea following a yacht capsize off Whananaki, Northland on December 30. The yacht overturned in rough conditions near Elizabeth Reef, forcing the skipper into the water — but Rimu, wearing her bright orange life jacket, somehow endured the elements and stayed afloat until she was found alive. 

The dramatic rescue came after frantic search efforts along the rugged Northland coastline. Locals joined in, using drones and scanning rocky headlands in the hopes of spotting the courageous four-legged swimmer. After days of uncertainty and worry, the joyful moment when Rimu was located offered a powerful reminder of resilience and hope. 

Her story has captured hearts nationwide — a testament to the importance of safety gear, the strength of animals, and the community spirit that rallied together when it mattered most.

I now have 23 rescue chicks and one rescue mum!
Black chooks is mine she was broody so I gave her some of the babies.
Thankfully seem to have homes lined up for them all already but they will be with me for the next couple months at least to grow them big and strong first.

Baby survived the night!
My brooder has taken to it well.
I only had to put her back under her once during the night around midnight when the baby chick wandered out but it was too dark to find its way back.
I have yet to see it eat or drink so hopefully that happens today.
My hen is talking to the baby and the baby responds which is good.
Not out of the woods yet though.

I heard this baby chick screaming desperately this evening, so I put my shoes on and went for a walk to see if I could find it.
I found this tiny baby chick stuck in thick long grass it couldn't jump out of.
No other chicks. No mama.
It was cold and all alone.
I brought it home and luckily had two broody hens, so took eggs off one mama that the other hens stuff under her daily. And put the baby under her.
She took to it immediately.
Fingers crossed this tiny baby survives since it put the effort into screaming for help.
