Making a difference in Whakatane

Volunteer with us

In 2024, SPCA celebrated its 70th anniversary in Whakatane. Our purpose-built Centre was opened in 2003, thanks to strong support from our local community. This facility enables us to help many hundreds of animals each year.

We have a team of part-time staff assisted by our dedicated volunteers to look after the animals while they await their forever homes.

The Whakatane Centre covers a large area encompassing rural, coastal and suburban communities within the Eastern Bay. We promote lifelong adoptions, responsible pet ownership and we aim to educate the public on animal welfare issues.

Specific enquiries

Enquiry types

Due to limited space and resources, unfortunately SPCA does not usually accept owned animals into our care.

As a charity, we do not have sufficient space and resources to provide a rehoming service for owned animals, and have to prioritise sick, stray or injured animals.
