Making a difference in North Auckland
Volunteer with usSPCA's Centre in Hobsonville is the newest centre in the country. We look forward to welcoming you to our state-of-the-art facilities.
We are located in the fast-growing area of Hobsonville, in the North West of Auckland. Our centre accommodates a small number of staff who work collaboratively to provide the best outcome for our animals.
This includes:
- Feline and canine adoption areas.
- A base for our warranted animal welfare Inspectors who cover a 7,980 sq. kms area across the Auckland region.
- Foster and volunteer offices
- An SPCA doggy daycare
Our Hobsonville centre works closely with the biggest and busiest SPCA centre located in Mangere, South Auckland. Together we help around 15,000 animals who have been abused or neglected. During our busiest periods we can have around 500 cats and kittens and up to 200 dogs in our care, including out at foster homes.
We are extremely lucky to have volunteers who devote their free time to helping the Hobsonville centre create the best life possible for the animals who need us; this ranges from cleaning out cat cages, assisting at the doggy daycare, or taking SPCA dogs for their daily exercise.
Please note our Hobsonville Centre is unable to accept sick or injured incoming animals from members of the public. If you have found a sick or injured animal, contact us immediately on 09 256 7300 for help and advice.
