The SPCA hopes that more of the 46,000 animals coming through its doors each year will find new homes. This summer, we're profiling animals that have been adopted — and their owners.
JT, a golden-retriever cross, was found wandering the streets before he was taken in by the Auckland SPCA.
He quickly became a staff favourite because of his friendly nature.
So it came as no surprise when he found a new home within weeks of arriving at the SPCA.
His new family say that he has well and truly settled in and knows all the household routines: Where to line up for breakfast, what do to do when the cars are backed out and when it is playtime.
