HUHA (Helping You Help Animals) Charitable Trust, New Zealand’s leading NO KILL animal shelter urgently needs rebuilding!
Our latest news on the new shelter
Woo hoo, whoop whoop and all that! Exciting times – FIRSTLY our Manakau land has sold with an unconditional offer!! SECONDLY we have gone unconditional on the purchase of the Haywards land. We are so excited, we will never outgrow this spot, and will even be able to provide the community with an off-leash forest Park to use and enjoy! And THIRDLY to complete our puzzle of growth, we have also been given the go ahead to take possession of the Stokes Valley Vet Clinic, a family run business that has been loved and admired by its clients for around 40 years. We hope to continue to be an asset to the community and make Ian and Lorna proud as we take over the business in the coming weeks.
So watch this space. Your generous donations are being put to great use and continue to be needed and appreciated – please consider HUHA and the difference we are making to so many animals when you are in a position to donate. Contact us on contact.huha@gmail.com if you have questions or ideas or want to be involved. See https://www.facebook.com/HELPREBUILDHUHA/
New Zealand’s leading ‘no-kill’ animal shelter
Helping you help animals (HUHA) is dedicated to teaching empathy to the community and providing shelter for those less fortunate animals that struggle to survive in today’s disposable culture. The sanctuary is fun and interactive in many ways, designed to encourage our community to be proactive and take responsibility for the welfare of animals and the protection of our unique environment. HUHA actively works everyday to find homes and foster care for a multitude of homeless, abandoned, seized and abused animals. We’re here to help you help animals.

Its such a fun day – you will be mad to miss it and it’s really important for the HUHA work.

Thank you!
Bella
Beautiful Bella? Bouncing Bella? Bonnie Bella? There are so many different words we could use to describe Bella and one would never be enough! This scrummy girl doesn’t know she is 7 years old and going grey already. She thinks she is 2 and has the energy to prove it! Bella LOVES people! She loves food and most importantly she loves to play. Toys and balls are the highlight of her life, especially when her people are playing with her!
Now Bella isn’t your typical Lab X. She doesn’t want to go to the dog park and hoon around with other dogs. She wants to be the only dog – at home and at the dog park (more toys for her that way!). She wants to go on long walks in quiet areas and spend one on one time with her favourite people.
We have been working hard with Bella to help her with some of her reactivity issues around other dogs and she is making great progress. A little bit of structure, a lot of love and positive reinforcement based training can work wonders. We are now looking for someone who is committed to continuing Bella’s training, under our guidance, once she is adopted. This way we can help ensure Bella is set up to succeed and that her new family has a support network there to help her (and them) adjust to her new life.
Bella has so much life in her, with so much joy and love to give – she is your true definition of a companion dog She is looking for a home with company most of (if not all) the time, an experienced owner, no cats and to be the only dog in the home. In return she will make you laugh with her antics, admire her zoomies and cherish her cuddles and affection.
Bella is a 7 year old Lab x. She is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped. Please call 04 392 3232 or email cate.huha@gmail.com if you think you have a home that would be a good fit for Bella.
