Polly is a candidate for surgery

The Auckland SPCA is very pleased to announce that Polly, the recently rescued German Shepherd puppy, has been considered a viable candidate for surgical repair for the injuries sustained during an act of unbelievable cruelly.

Polly was brought to the SPCA by Inspector Todd Neil after being tied by her back legs & hung off the ground in a garage. She sustained some serious injuries to her back leg and hip, and was being examined and x-rayed at a specialist clinic yesterday.

The outcome is that Polly will undergo specialist surgery tomorrow morning and then will need a period of time to recuperate from her operation.

We have been overwhelmed by people wishing to donate towards Polly's surgery and ongoing care during her recovery period. People have been passing on their best wishes and others have been enquiring about adopting Polly.

We would like to thank and acknowledge all of those people, and anyone wishing to make a donation to the Auckland SPCA for Polly and the other animals in our care, can send it to:

Auckland SPCA, Freepost 189573 (or PO Box 43 221), Mangere, Manukau 2153

Please ensure that you include Polly's name on the donation so it can go directly to her recovery fund. Please also note that any donations received over and above the cost of Polly's surgery and recovery costs will be utilised in the treatment and care of the thousands of other animals we receive each year.

Donations can also be made online via our website here.

For all e-mail enquiries about Polly please contact our Operations Manager Tracy Dunn on 09 2567318 or by email tracy.dunn@spca.org.nz.

We will continue updating this blog through each stage of Polly's journey.
