Pet of the Week

Juniper
Come visit us at Kioreroa Road, Whangarei

There are lots of rabbits here waiting for homes, but none has been waiting as long as me. My name is Juniper and I am a large, friendly young female who has been at the SPCA since December.
I’m a honey of a bunny although like most rabbits I prefer to sit next to you for pats rather than be picked up. And like all rabbits I would love a big cage or yard to live in as we love to hop, hop, hop.
Did you know rabbits can live for up to 10 years? We make great pets for people who are kind, thoughtful and caring as we can’t make noises to let you know we need attention and food so we rely on our owners to always remember to love, care and pat us without prompting. In return we are undemanding and cute pets that you can treasure for life. Could you be my bunny buddy?

The Whangarei SPCA at a glance
We are open 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm Thursdays, Saturday 9am to 12.30pm and Sunday 9am to 12.30pm. Our centre is located on Kioreroa Road, next to the Re:Sort centre and Cowleys
The area we cover (our inspectorate) stretches all the way north to Towai, south to Te Hana, and west to Tangiteroria
Around 3000 animals are brought to our centre each year and each year we investigate around – 500-600 animal abuse complaints
We receive a small amount of funding from the Government towards welfare investigations, but no financial help from Whangarei District Council, the Northland Regional Council and are not eligible for Lotteries Grants
We could not exist without volunteers and donations from the public!
