"Our foster parents are volunteers and provide a temporary home for animals to help them recover from surgery, give them medicine for an illness, or work with them to improve their behaviour," the spokesperson says. "We are looking for foster parents who have enough secure land and shelter to house farm animals, and high enough fencing - especially for goats - to keep them safe."
Typically, foster parents will look after an animal from a few weeks up to a few months, or sometimes longer. The Auckland centre has very limited room, and farm animals need more space.
"Farm animals need lots of room and land to be happy, healthy and express natural behaviours, and there is simply not enough room at the Auckland centre to give them this - especially when we have a high number of animals in our care."
Fostering is free, and SPCA supplies food, vet treatment and support for the foster family. For more information head to the SPCA's website.

The students picked up their pencils and Play-Doh and sketched and sculpted designs of how they would like their restored reserve to look. The designs were largely inspired by nature and the surrounding landscape and the native species the Healthy Waters team was trying to attract back.

This looks like an interesting place. Of course they are located just outside the Trusts boundary because they wouldn't be allowed to operate inside it.
A perfect example of how the Trusts monopoly holds back the hospitality industry and limits the options for West Aucklanders.

Have you heard this trick before? A handy hack on how to open OXO cubes is causing a stir online, as it seems many of us have been doing it all wrong.
Forget crumbling up the cube after opening the silver foil packaging - it seems that packaging was actually designed to be flattened. To read more click here.
Simply open up the flaps on the side, flatten them out and then crumble the cube inside the package, turning it into a powder that's a heck of a lot easier to add to your dish.
Did you know this handy trick? Have you been opening the cubes the wrong way your whole life like the rest of us? Will this make cooking for your family a little easier? Share your thoughts in the replies below!
