The Bay of Islands SPCA is part of Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is a voluntary organisation which, through its 48 district branches across the country, provides help to animals and owners 24 hours a day, seven days a week, although the public should expect only genuine emergencies to be dealt with outside normal working hours.
Our mission is to advance the welfare of all animals in New Zealand by:
- Preventing cruelty to animals
- Alleviating suffering of animals
- Promoting our policies through education and advocacy
We rely almost entirely on the generosity of the public to carry out our life-saving work. The majority of our income comes from donations, bequests and our own fundraising efforts.
