SPCA'S Dog Squad is looking for new members!

Sabine Kruekel from

Did you know this special group of SPCA fundraisers have fundraised over $430,000 for SPCA?

Members of SPCA Dog Squad, North Shore Supporters, and the North Shore Dog Squad have spent the last 30 years supporting SPCA by fundraising, fostering and adopting, and began back when the SPCA only had minimal staff and very limited resources.

The Dog Squad is full of four-legged members too, including dalmatians, newfoundlands, spaniels, labradors, and a very special ex-SPCA three-legged dog called Lucy. Most of their fundraising work includes regular barbeques out on the streets with their dogs, so they are DESPERATELY searching for new members with great BBQ skills!

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Dog Squad, please email debbie.madden@spca.nz.

Our SPCA fundraisers like the Dog Squad are more than just people on the streets. They are the backbone of the organisation, and the reason why thousands of animals receive a second chance at a better life. Next time you see them around, stop and share your story. Or better yet... COME AND JOIN THEM! <3

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
