Here's to a year of kindness towards all living beings. Here is to a year filled with peace and calm. This year we are going to own the growth and change in HUHA. We are putting our big kid boots on and we are getting our teams ready for what ever 2021 throws at us… Continue reading >
Rarely is there a time at HUHA for quiet and pause but we have been brought to a stop with the passing of Laurie. Laurie’s story is a typical HUHA one – he was a circus monkey, broken for entertainment and with his broken ribs and stress alopecia he was rescued by HUHA and given… Continue reading >

Sorry for the delayed update. It's all so consuming. The devastation is not just with the animals but it surrounds us in the locals too. The best way we know how to acknowledge their pain and honour their grief is to work as hard as we can and not come up for air until we… Continue reading >

Proudly leaving behind two pop up wildlife veterinary triage centres that… Continue reading >
