Every year, the SPCA is looking after over 30,000 animals from sick to vulnerable, injured and abused. The society’s Hamilton centre has more than 200 animals in its care. One of them isa 3-month-old puppy named Jill.
Loving, sweet, and cuddly; That’s how Jill is described after spending almost 50 days in the care of Hamilton SPCA, and is now ready to find her fur-ever home.
But when a good Samaritan found Jill on October 14, she was locked in a culvert with her sister in Te Kūiti.
The centre’s manager Kyla Robb told Waikato Herald they assumed whoever locked the duo inside and “blocked off” the culvert, was “trying to drown them.”
She said when they were found it was during really bad weather.

“They were both really skinny, really little, and scared ... animal control called us because they were too small and vulnerable,” she said.
When the duo were brought into the centre, they were given their vaccinations, microchips inserted, given plenty of food and water, and plenty of socialisation.
Jill weighed just under 6kg and now six weeks later, she’s put on 7kg and weighs 13kg.
