Making a difference in Whakatane
Volunteer with usIn 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
Found Animals
If you have found a sick or injured animal, contact us immediately on 07 308 4608.
If you have found a roaming or dangerous dog, please call the Whakatane District Council on 07 306 0500.
If the animal is healthy and not in danger, please click here to see how you can help.
Lost Animals
We list every incoming stray animal on www.animalregister.co.nz so please check the listings to see if we might have your missing pet.
If your animal is not listed, we have some tips on how to find your pet on our Advice & Welfare section.
