About Animal Re-homing
 Animal Re-homing is run by Linda Nunn of Auckland.
All of her work is voluntary
and reliant
on donations or her and her husbands own earnings. Animal Re-homing
is always in need of financial donations and/or donations of "stuff"
i.e. cat and dog food, computer equipment, petrol etc. Linda says
"We are unfunded and footing all the bills for the many species of
animals we rescue, re-home and advocate for. We have outstanding
veterinary expenses, petrol costs, animal transportation throughout
the North Island, nationwide toll and mobile phone calls, cage
purchases, the costs of materials to build humane traps and
enclosures, the various feeds required, etc. Our paid employment is
struggling to finance our voluntary work.

most recent newsletter
(A virtual volunteer to place ads on petsonthenet,
has been found, thank you!)
Linda is involved in cat and kitten
rescue, capture, rehabilitation and re-homing. She also arranges
transport, finance, rescue and adoption for many animals. Many of
these are adopted via petsonthenet.co.nz. The type of animals
she assists is diverse, from cats and dogs, to Kune Kune pigs, geese,
roosters, steers, guinea pigs, rats, peacocks, horses and goats -
you name it!

Linda says "please be patient if I am unable to respond to you immediately –
this voluntary work can be all consuming, especially during rescues
and sometimes I simply run out of time for weeks on end."

Dear Friends,
-
Thousands of young
hens are about to be slaughtered after spending their entire
lives
imprisoned in battery farm cages.
-
Two beautiful dogs
are in need of loving homes with experienced caregivers.
-
Please contact
those people you know who may be interested in adopting any of
the wonderful creatures mentioned below. Thank you so much.
Warmest Regards,
Linda Nunn (Animal Re-homing)
PS: Homes are also needed for roosters, cats, kittens and a
beautifully natured
young Bull Mastiff X.
Thanks to you, the Staffi pup named Billy, Shylo the kitten,
Tiger Lilly the Ocicat and the
goats are fortunate to now be in
wonderful care.

 EX-BATTERY HENS NEED FOSTERING & ADOPTION HOMES
This month, a battery
hen farm in Auckland will be sending thousands of its 18 month –
2 year old
hens to slaughter and replacing them with younger
birds. Although these chickens will have years
of laying and
life in their ravaged bodies, they are no longer laying at the
exploitative rate the farmers
demand.
Animal Liberation Aotearoa
will be buying as many pre-slaughter hens as they can find
loving homes for. Their new havens will need to provide shelter,
quality food, water, nesting boxes
and be safe from chills,
sunburn and roaming dogs. If you, or someone you know has a
suitable
private property to care for and shelter some of these
wretched creatures for the rest of their
natural lives, please
apply to
animalliberationaotearoa@yahoo.com
Please also make contact
if you are able to provide
a temporary home as a collection
point anywhere in the Auckland region.
An interview process will
apply in all cases. Please consider making a donation to ALA
when you
collect your hens and boycott buying eggs produced by
caged hens. Thank you.

 DOG: LUCY SEEKS HER FOURTH & FINAL HOME PLEASE
Five year old Lucy
has been in three homes and desperately needs her next move to
be
her last. This beautiful Golden Labrador X Siberian Husky
cannot live with
her doting caregivers as they have been unable to find a fenced
property where the landlord
will allow a dog. With a heavy
heart, they have asked me to urgently find her the perfect home
before they shift house on the 14th June. Medium
sized Lucy is de-sexed, fully vaccinated, flea and worm treated
and her dental requirements are up to date.
Lucy is a clever dog
who adores human company and is extremely affectionate, but due
to her high prey drive, she could not live compatibly with cats,
chickens, rabbits or any other small animals. She is learning to
walk sensibly on a lead and
with her intelligence, she will
train well in kind, experienced hands. Lucy is a toilet trained,
indoor pet. She would be suitable for an individual, a couple or
a family with gentle children over
five years. She may be too
strong for an elderly person. If you own your home, if your
property
is fully and securely fenced and if you have the time
and skills to train, exercise and socialize
Lucy with other
dogs, please contact me at
linda.paul@actrix.co.nz Please also make contact
if you are
able to offer Lucy foster care. Thank you. (More photographs
available).

 DOG: AFFECTIONATE SIBERIAN HUSKY SEEKS KIND CAREGIVERS
When we rescued
7-year-old Buffy, she was ravenous, with her skeleton very obvious
through her filthy, matted coat. She walked with a hind leg limp
and craved gentle touch. The SPCA kindly took her in and between
us we
paid for her to have surgery for a dislocated knee cap. Forrest Hill Vet Clinic
gave a generous discount to ensure this
lovely dog would have the
required treatment and a compassionate
couple further assisted with her costs. Follow up
surgery two
months later has ensured that she now walks (and wants to run and
leap) like
any other healthy dog. Her stitches will be removed on
Friday and Buffy will then be ready for
adoption or to be fostered
for a month, while she fully rehabilitates.
Medium sized Buffy is de-sexed, fully vaccinated, micro chipped
and flea and worm treated.
She is a clever dog who enjoys human company, but due to her high
prey drive, she could
not live compatibly with cats, chickens,
rabbits or any other small animals. She is learning
to walk
sensibly on a lead and with her intelligence, she will train well
in kind, experienced hands.
Buffy is now a toilet trained, indoor
pet. She would be suitable for an individual, a couple or
a family
with gentle older children. If you own your home, if your property
is fully and securely
fenced and if you have the time and skills
to train, exercise and socialize Buffy with other dogs,
please
contact me at
linda.paul@actrix.co.nz
Please also make contact if you are
able to offer Buffy foster care.
Thank you. (More photographs and
a report by her recent fosterers available).

Dear Friends,
Below is a letter
we have sent to the Australian University involved in unnecessary
experiments
on rabbits. Below that are the links to introduce you to
this horrible subject, including a base
letter addressed to three
professors to get you started.
Please send an
e-mail letter, if you also feel moved to do so.
Love Linda and
Paul.
Professor Richard Larkins AO
Vice Chancellor and President
Monash University
Re:
PHY 3171 - Clinical and Experimental Cardiovascular Physiology -
Leader: Dr Kate Denton
Dear
Professor Larkins,
Please read our letter, as we are deeply concerned with the facts we
have learned and
witnessed today. Please also understand that we are
writing with huge restraint as we have
ourselves been painfully
wounded by this horrible new awareness.
The
undercover footage obtained by Animal Liberation Victoria of
classroom experiments on
live, anaesthetized rabbits as part of Monash Physiology class 3171 is being circulated
throughout the
world. It has reached New Zealand and we intend to further
distribute this
very distressing footage to those people on our
e-mail database.
We
are disgusted that sentient animals are being used in this way when
students have
the option of watching a video of the procedure
instead. Why would you offer live experiments
when this is clearly
not necessary? This cruel waste of life must stop, and we ask that
you
remove these procedures from your syllabus immediately. How it
has gone on this long
is incomprehensible to any compassionate
person. How many times and with how many students
does this same
experiment have to be carried out on rabbits to prove the same
results each time?
Please respond to our letter so that we can advise our friends and
family that this barbaric practice has been stopped. Unfortunately
this issue will always be a shameful part of the history of Monash
University – hopefully in time your students and the rest of the
world will be able to forgive this callousness as you progress into
the ways of a more enlightened 21st century. Sadly the
misused, sacrificed rabbits have no comeback…
We
await your response in the sincere hope that pride will not stop you
making the only
humane decision – to stop using rabbits as
playthings for students. If the inhumane decision is
made, we can
only imagine the issue escalating and Monash University facing
ongoing embarrassment
and humiliation as it tries to provide
‘scientific’ reasons for experiments that have well passed their
usefulness. We look to you, Richard, for leadership in this
appalling matter. Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Linda Nunn and Paul Johnson, PO BOX 35-298, Browns Bay, North Shore
City,
Auckland, New Zealand
