Founder Kat Thompson said it had been difficult to close the rescue service’s doors to incoming animals as they tried to improve their financial situation.
At the time of the closure, Thompson said every day the service’s doors were shut “it means there’s an animal that we have to say ‘No’ to and that means they may sadly lose their life”.
Now, after much support from the public, the rescue has been able to reopen.
That was held at Tauranga Crossing Mall on Sunday, when “We had a great turnout and a huge amount of donations”, said Thompson. “It was great meeting everyone who came down to say hi and meet the team.
