SPCA COMES NORTH

The SPCA is building a second Auckland centre in Hobsonville, which will include a doggy daycare. Auckland’s chief executive Andrea Midgen said the sole South Auckland site could no longer keep up with the volume of injured, neglected and abused animals it dealt with daily. The satellite site was located on Rawiri Place, near Hobsonville Primary School and the Upper Harbour Motorway. It would not have a hospital, but would house animals to be adopted. Construction of the Hobsonville centre could begin in October of this year. The doggy daycare would help fund the centre.
