One day to go - 75% OFF ADOPTION FEES AT SPCA

The Team from SPCA Auckland - Centres & Op Shops

We are holding open days at both our Auckland Centres (Māngere and Hobsonville) this weekend to try and rehome as many animals as possible. Anyone who adopts this weekend will get a huge 75% discount off standard adoption fees!

With over 150 animals waiting for their forever homes across both Centres, we encourage anyone who has been considering adopting a furry or feathered friend to make the most of this amazing opportunity. Normal adoption criteria will apply.

No adoption appointments needed, just head on down to your nearest Centre this weekend.

📍 Māngere: 9am-5pm Sat, 10am-4pm Sun
📍 Hobsonville: 10am-4pm Sat and Sun

We’ll have colouring activities to keep kids entertained, and a lolly-jar competition running for one lucky adopter to take home some goodies for the new companion animal ❤

Mark your calendars and come on down this Saturday or Sunday.

Please note: Dogs and puppies might or might not be able to go home with you on the same day. Please do bring the following to make it easier for us to assess whether your home is already suitable or might need some updates to accommodate a dog:
- Photos of the property where the dog / puppy will be living including any housing such as kennel & runs & fencing
- Information regarding landlords &/ or tenancy agreements for rental properties

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
