Meet @aucklandpuppyrescue - a completely volunteer-run puppy rescue that’s found more than 1,000 forever homes since 2012 🐶

APR is entirely community-funded, working alongside pounds, shelters, the public and other rescues around the country to help puppies who need somewhere safe to go. But it’s not just about getting a puppy out of a tough situation - it’s about giving each one the health care, training and socialisation they need to actually thrive in their new home.

Here’s something that surprised us... APR has no shelter at all. Every puppy lives with a foster family, learning their personality, quirks and needs long before they’re matched with their forever home. Behind every adoption is a small volunteer team coordinating fosters, arranging vet care, fundraising and supporting families the whole way through.

If you’d like to foster, adopt, donate, or lend your time or skills, head over to @aucklandpuppyrescue or check out www.aucklandpuppyrescue.com to find out more.

Have you ever fostered or perhaps thought about it? Let us know below! 🐶

A big thank you to @fluffybums_petcare for nominating @aucklandpuppyrescue for this month’s charity feature - and to everyone else who sent in a nomination. Each month, NZ Pets highlights a different Kiwi charity doing great work for animals in need. Keep an eye on our Stories for the next Call for Nominations.

Finding a lump on your dog or cat can be worrying. While many are harmless, some unfortunately are not, which is why knowing what to do makes all the difference.

Dr Danielle of @wellbyvets shares the gold standard for what to do when you find a lump on your pet.

* Note the location: Write down exactly where it is on your pet.
* Measure the lump: Use a ruler to record its size in millimetres.
* Take a photo: A clear photo helps monitor changes over time.
* Check for other lumps: Use your fingertips to gently feel for any other lumps.
* Book a vet check: EVERY new lump should be examined by a vet for proper diagnostics.

Don’t “wait and see”. Acting early often leads to better outcomes.

📍 Free Resource: Download free Pet Body Maps at wellbyvets.com (under the Free Resources tab) to easily track any lumps or changes.
