South Pacific Animal Welfare

South Pacific Animal Welfare

SPAW organises, resources and runs veterinary clinics on South Pacific islands.

Auckland

South Pacific Animal Welfare has been working in the South Pacific since 2010.

SPAW does not pay salaries, that means that every penny you donate goes towards purchasing medicines, vaccines and supplies to help animals in need.

SPAW provides around NZ$1.5million in veterinary aid to the South Pacific each year.

We aim to treat (for free) 2,000 animals each year.

More about us

South Pacific Animal Welfare is a NZ based charity.

We provide veterinary care and related services to animals living in island communities in the South Pacific. New Zealand run and managed, SPAW is often the only life-line of hope for animals who are injured, abused or sick and a major contributor to reducing the stray dog and cat populations by providing regular desexing clinics.

SPAW recruits veterinarians and veterinary nurses from New Zealand, Australia and around the world to deliver free veterinary services to the islands of Tonga (Tongatapu, Vava’u, Nomuka, Eu'a), Fiji (Taveuni), Samoa (Savai’i), Nuie and Rarotonga in the Cook Islands.

SPAW volunteers are often the only veterinary professionals an island community will see and it is our hope that by being present and fostering positive animal welfare activities, over time, people will display higher levels of compassion for all animals.

Our services include desexing small animals, specifically dogs and cats, surgical procedures, health checks, vaccinations, parasite control treatments and livestock care to as many animals as we can reach during a community clinic and remote village/field locations.

Hi Karen, so glad to see that you are still flying the flag for all the beautiful animals in the South Pacific. I fondly remember attending the fundraiser auctions that you used to organise for the Esther Honey Foundation back in the day, they were such fun and a truly great way for Michelle to empty our wallets 😊
