Members of SPCA Dog Squad, North Shore Supporters, and the North Shore Dog Squad have spent the last 30 years supporting SPCA by fundraising, fostering and adopting, and began back when the SPCA only had minimal staff and very limited resources.
The Dog Squad is full of four-legged members too, including dalmatians, newfoundlands, spaniels, labradors, and a very special ex-SPCA three-legged dog called Lucy. Most of their fundraising work includes regular barbeques out on the streets with their dogs, so they are DESPERATELY searching for new members with great BBQ skills!
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Dog Squad, please email debbie.madden@spca.nz.
Our SPCA fundraisers like the Dog Squad are more than just people on the streets. They are the backbone of the organisation, and the reason why thousands of animals receive a second chance at a better life. Next time you see them around, stop and share your story. Or better yet... COME AND JOIN THEM! <3

Do you know which outdoor spaces in Auckland are becoming smokefree? Click here to read an explainer on the smoking ban.
The Auckland Council announced on October 19 it was banning smoking at more than 800 cafes, restaurants and bars that use its licensed areas for al fresco dining and drinking. The ban would come into effect as owners renew their licences. By December 31, 2019, all eateries with outdoor dining areas will have the rule in place.
Under the new policy, smoking is also banned at parks, beaches, reserves and other council-owned properties.
So what are your thoughts on the ban? How will it affect you or your business? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!

She's a Labrador cross. Black fur and has a big shaggy tail & long fur around her neck & shldrs. She also has a faded red collar but no council tag as it broke but she is registered. She gets frightened by fireworks & lightening. We have a fenced property but she still takes off.
She isn't too friendly with people she doesn't know. If you see her please call/ txt Lisa 0211810132 or Craig 0212129952
