Puppy Rescue
Winter, July 2016
Recently we came to the rescue of a litter of pups who lost their mum after she was tragically hit by a car and killed. She left 13 beautiful four week old Staffy/ Collie cross puppies, unfortunately three of whom didn’t survive without their mum. At the time the shelter was full to capacity with other abandoned, sick or injured animals, and the whole shelter team was run off their feet caring for our residents already in house. Luckily, help was at hand for the pups as numerous caring people pitched in to give them the round the clock care they needed at such a young age.

All of the pups have now found their forever homes, and we’re pleased to have been able to arrive at such a happy outcome for them. We are also pleased to announce the appointment of our new Shelter Manager, Mike Georgantis. As you can see from this shot, he’s already immersed in the role, and has recently welcomed a new small canine to his family! This story highlights our need for funding in order to
keep the Shelter and emergency ambulance open and able to care for animals in our community. We currently have a campaign underway to encourage you, our fellow animal lovers, to make a regular donation to the Shelter to help us do this. Check your dog rego acknowledgement, or visit out website to learn more about regular giving, or contact Sally at community@spcahastings.org.nz For the price of a coffee a week, you can make a difference to the lives of animals.
