New SPCA Op Shop in FRANKTON!
Our Hamilton Op Shops are growing, and we are excited to announce we have a second store in the Hamilton neighbourhood located at 42 Lake Road in Frankton — make sure you come along to check it out! It is open 7 days a week (yes that's right, it's open both Saturdays & Sundays).
We are also on the look out for more support with day-to-day operations in our Frankton store, so if you have some spare time each week please consider filling out our volunteer application form. A few hours a week goes a long way, all while knowing the store contributes to helping animals in need 🐱🐰

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
