HUHA is an established dog, cat, horse and animal rescue working for the health and welfare of animals across New Zealand

Based in Wellington, HUHA partners with animal welfare organisations and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand and in nearby countries during crises to help animals in need. We lead advocacy, rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming and release work on behalf of thousands of animals of every kind each year.

If you’d like to help us help animals, please consider volunteering, making a donation or adopting a rescue pet.
