The Tauranga SPCA has a Mission, a Vision and an important role to play in the community. Each of these aspects requires the support of our entire community. Without you, we could not operate and help those who need our help, or bring justice to those who have failed these innocent animals.

Our inspectors work to uphold the laws relating to the treatment of animals and make prosecutions where necessary. At our ‘Betty Napier Animal Shelter’ we give sanctuary to animals in distress and re-home suitable animals where possible.

We have been operating our shelter for some time using a Saving Lives Philosophy, as we believe all life is precious. The mission behind Saving Lives is to treat every animal that arrives on our threshold as if it were our own, and to make every decision a life – saving commitment.

 No longer do we euthanize an animal because it has been in adoption for a certain time or because we have no space. Once we commit to finding a loving home for an animal we will see it through until we find that home.
