Oamaru, Otago

Based around North Otago/South Canterbury, take in dogs from further afield, from all types of desperate situations. We are often their last hope. Many are needing extensive veterinary treatment – dental extractions, arthritis treatment, x-rays, fracture repairs, heart medication, bloods, behavioural support, special diets. We are strong advocates of spay/neuter and we offer assistance to struggling pet owners.

Self funded and rely on our own fundraising efforts and donations from the public.

Registered Charitable Trust number CC60695

Pip ❤️ 19 February 2026

🤍 A vet clinic phoned this morning to see if we would help this girl who was run over by a vehicle towing a boat yesterday. She was surrendered by her owner. Located Timaru.

Pip is a 9 month old Huntaway. She has a large wound to her left fore leg which will need intensive treatment over the next 8-10 weeks. She also has a second wound to one of her toes on her left hind.

💜 Please keep comments positive for Pip, and for all of the other dogs that will need our help in the future. We are glad that we are an alternative option to euthanasia. With your support we can help these dogs have a bright future.

Adding in our account details, if you are able to contribute to Pip's vet bill, here are the details... many thanks.

I absolutely love dogs but after losing two of my own to old age I am still struggling with adapting to another one. So sorry but I would like to donate $25.00 a month, it's not a lot but I hope it helps.
