We have heard animal shelters and rescue centres have been inundated with abandoned, abused, or unwanted pets, mainly dogs and cats.

We want to help these amazing organisations who are saving animals from being put down by helping to find some forever homes for these lovely creatures.

We will feature pets that are looking for adoption regularly here on the app.

If you head to our Pets / Foster / Adopt / Animal Shelter page under Community on the app you will see the animal rescues centres in the area that you can contact directly for pet adoption. These organisations are often registered charities and need our support.

Here is how you can help:

• Donate money directly to their bank accounts - look on their websites for the details
• Donate food, toys, blankets etc
• Foster a dog or cat while they are looking for their forever home
• Foster and raise kittens and puppies until they are old enough to be adopted.

This week we are featuring Saving Hope Foundation

Little Miss Nelly is a sweet and playful 4 month old pup, pictured here as a bumble bee on Halloween. Nelly is fostered with her brother Nico and sister Nikki, all three have beautiful calm natures. They enjoy a bit of puppy rough and tumble, then once the party is over their favourite place is next to you for snuggles and tummy tickles. Nelly is waiting to find her forever family so come and say hello. To apply to adopt Nelly or if you’d like to help foster a puppy please head over to https://www.savinghope.co.nz for more information.

Sweet little Angel is a clever 14 week old girl that is picking up training so well, she knows sit, down, spin, hands up against the wall and many more tricks. Fostered in Matakana with her sister Annie and a menagerie of other dogs, cats, sheep, geese and goats (her favourite goat is called TJ), Angel is learning some great social skills to take with her to her forever home. To apply to adopt Angel or if you’d like to help foster a puppy please head over to https://www.savinghope.co.nz for more information.
