The SPCA hopes that more of the 46,000 animals coming through its doors each year will find new homes. This summer, the Herald profiles animals that have been adopted and their owners as part of our My Rescue Pet series.
"Hi my name is Roxy. My owner can't look after me, can you?"
This note was found on the collar of 10-year-old Jack Russell, Roxy, who was found running around Howick in Auckland.
Reaching out to the public, the SPCA hoped someone would come forward with more information about the dog - to no avail.
Having recently lost their 17-year-old Jack Russell, Colin Stokes and wife Jenny went to the SPCA to find a new dog.
