On Sunday, Dave took me out to the SPCA Animal house in Mangere. Geez this was depressing. The little puppies and dogs are in cages, they have a small run but they all need a good home. It was hard to leave without taking a couple of animals with us. They do have an amazing animal recovery area where injured cats get to recover in a room - that actually looks like a room in a house (ie, single bed, desk, couch).
After doing this, Dave and I have decided to get a dog and a cat at the same time, so we're waiting for kitten season at the SPCA.
This is Oscar the boxer:

And this is Brooke, still a puppy and entirely gorgeous:

After visiting, I'd just like to add that the SPCA need all the help they can get as they aren't government funded. If you don't have room in your home for a pet, please support them by placing a donation (doesn't have to be much if you can't afford it! You could also donate food and blankets). You can find out how to do by

Task Five. Visit the SPCA.
DONE.
