Balclutha Vet Partnership
Making a difference in Southland
Volunteer with usUnlike most SPCAs, Balclutha doesn’t have a physical Centre - but that hasn’t stopped the local team and community from making a big impact.
Every animal that comes into care through VetSouth Balclutha is lovingly supported through a network of dedicated foster families across the Southland district or transferred to nearby SPCA Centres until they find their forever home.
This community-driven approach ensures that every animal receives the care, attention, and second chance they deserve.
