Celebrate your birthday with us!

Fancy a birthday party with a difference? Then why not celebrate with us?

We host birthday parties for children over the age of 4 and can accomodate up to 12 children at a time.

Parties are heaps of fun and are packed with loads of activities – including plenty of time to hang out with some of the animals in our care.

Birthday activities can include bunny massage, pom pom making, kitty cuddles, clicker training with puppies, dog biscuit baking, creating chocolate animals, a shelter tour and heaps more!!

We have a room all set up with everything you need for a party – you just need to bring the food and drink (there is a kitchen for any preparation needed).

Every child at the party will take home their very own Wellington SPCA party bag and the birthday child also receives an extra special gift.

So, why not give your animal-loving child the party that everyone at school will be talking about for weeks to come?!

Kids get dogs’ tails wagging

In celebration of World Animal Day we launched a kid’s fundraising competition and we are proud to announce the winners of our competition for ‘Most Money Raised’ are Frances Perry, Lucy Stevens and Jean Perry. Their fundraising event ‘Man and Dog Stall’ was a huge success, raising $105 in just over an hour. Passing patrons were hungry for cupcakes and brownies and their dogs were treated to honey dog biscuits and dog tug toys. The team made all of the food and toys themselves – a fantastic effort.

 Huge congratulations to our winners who each won a prize pack and a special shelter tour – to see for themselves exactly how their fantastic efforts are helping the animals.
