Will you help us keep woofers warm over winter?
This winter, our SPCA Wellington and Masterton Centres are heading out into the community to supply blankets and jackets to dogs living outside in kennels in the Wellington and Wairarapa region.
Just like us, animals feel the chill and over the winter months, so it’s important to provide your pets with extra shelter and more blankets to keep them dry and warm. It’s getting cold out there and our animals need protection from the elements too!
SPCA doesn’t want to see any dogs going without this winter. But... we need YOUR help to make this happen! Do you have any unused blankets or dog jackets? Our Wellington and Masterton Centres would greatly appreciate any donations of blankets and dog jackets to help canines out in the cold! Your donations will be vital in making a difference for dogs in our community.
If you have any blankets or dog jackets that you would like to donate, these can be dropped off at our Wellington or Masterton Centres, or at one of the following locations listed on our website: www.spca.nz.... We will be accepting donations for two weeks, from today till the 27 June.
Is your outside dog in need of a blanket for their kennel and a jacket this winter? Or do you know someone who would appreciate these items for their outdoor canine? Please reach out to our team by emailing wellington.info@spca.nz, with information on how many dogs require blankets and their sizes, and our team will be in touch.
PLEASE NOTE: This service is only available in Wellington and Wairarapa. Conditions apply, for more information please visit our website at www.spca.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
