Ashburton Centre
Making a difference in Ashburton
Volunteer with usFrom 31 October, SPCA will be closing our Ashburton Centre.
While the physical Centre will no longer operate, SPCA services will continue in the community through a dedicated Community Support Officer and our ongoing partnership with Vetlife, ensuring sick, injured, and vulnerable animals continue to receive care.
This change allows SPCA to use donated funds in the most effective way, helping more animals in need across Ashburton and the wider region.
For urgent animal welfare concerns, please contact our Inspectorate at 03 307 1019.
Our centre covers from the Rakaia River to the Rangitata, with Inspectorate cover coming from Christchurch.
Specific enquiries
All cruelty reports should be made by phone: 03 307 1019
If you wish to make an animal welfare complaint, please call our team on 03 307 1019. We are available to process complaints between 8.30am and 5pm daily (Monday to Sunday). At any time, including outside of these hours, to report any animal welfares concerns you can complete our webform.
If you have found a sick or injured animal, and it is safe to do so, please take it to your nearest vet clinic for emergency care. Please call the Centre on 03 307 1019 for advice. All messages will be followed up by the team as soon as possible.
