The new HUHA shelter at Haywards – it’s being built, it was never more needed than now!

One thing stays the same for HUHA – the need. The size of the need doesn’t stay the same though – this just continues to increase each year.

Over the last couple of years, to address the costs and the demands and be more efficient, we have bought 157 acres of land on the Haywards Hill. Yes, a big, brave thing. 

Is it easy? Is it finished? No – it’s hard work and it’s not finished – but it will be. The 157 acres will be a home for horses, farm animals, cats, dogs and bird rehabilitation. It will be our one stop HUHA place of care. We own it so everything we do and every cent spent on it, stays there. Ground levelling has been done for the horses and farm animals, dogs and cats area. Our horses have now moved in. The dream becomes reality.

With planning and fundraising for Haywards, we have had to bring our A game to everything we do – because the rescue continues and we can never be too tired or too distracted or drop the ball with that. We do this with the community – please join the family and be a part of it.

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.

VOLUNTEERS? YES PLEASE!!!

It doesn’t happen without volunteers – we need you now!

It’s not enough to rescue – there has to be feeding, cleaning, housework, baths, walking, training, mesmerising with pats and kindness, and love. We can get the animals to the shelters but there is a lot of daily, regular work to do to keep everyone comfortable and safe and get everyone adoption-ready.

Please consider what time you could give to be part of this – we currently have fortnightly and weekly shifts that need people. Whatever time you have – a little or a lot – it just needs to be regular so we know we have everything covered. 

Everything you do as a volunteer is rescue at its core. Please come and help us (it’s also fun and incredibly rewarding. Your three hours once a fortnight will quickly become three hours, four days a week – we hope!). We’ll see you there!
