A Time For Refection

Bruce from Pakuranga

My Grandparents told me about the Spanish Flu, also known as the Swain Flu of 1918 and my Grandmother Nana Powley told me stories of people gargling "J's cleaning fluid" because thousands of people were dying in NZ.
My Parents told me about the Polio virus of the 1930 -40's and as a kid they closed schools and my mother had to do swimming lessons in a heated pool to cure polio which worked and now we have the "Corona Virus".
If we look at each of these viruses and how other countries have been affected.
New Zealand is one lucky country!

Reminder: Tomorrow is our national walk-in adoption day with 50% off adoption fees

The Team from SPCA Auckland - Centres & Op Shops

That’s right – if you’re ready to adopt, you can swing by your nearest SPCA Centre tomorrow (Saturday 5 April) to meet the animals without an appointment ?

It’s our goal to Clear the Shelters, so we’re offering 50% off all adoption fees until Sunday 13 April. With 1,100 animals currently available for adoption across the country, we’d love for you to come along tomorrow and meet those waiting. ?

You can also head over to our website to check out their profiles, and register your interest early if there’s a particular cutie who catches your eye – this will speed things up on the day.

To keep the experience as calm and positive as possible for our animals and staff, we kindly ask that only those seriously considering adoption attend.

See you tomorrow!
