Mission
Our mission is to promote the humane treatment of animals and to prevent cruelty to animals.
We do this by rescuing animals in distress, caring for homeless animals, reuniting lost animals with their owners, rehoming orphaned and unwanted animals, running desexing programmes so unwanted animals are not born to a life of suffering, educating children and adults about how to care for animals and prosecuting those who neglect or abuse animals.
Our Animal Welfare Inspectors enforce the Animal Welfare Act 1999 and have the power to prosecute people under this Act. They educate people about proper care of their animals. We have a 24-hour animal ambulance service to respond to emergencies where animals are sick or injured.
A SPCA worker completes paperwork in the Surgery.
We provide a veterinary service that is open to the public and discounted for people on low incomes. We promote the desexing of all pets and run free desexing programmes in areas where we frequently get unwanted litters and neglected animals from.
Get in touch with the Wellington SPCA, find out where we are or submit a general enquiry through our contact form.
If you are interested in adopting an animal from the Wellington SPCA we would love to hear from you! To help get prepared you can read about the process online.
