Waikato Animal Outreach Trust is a registered New Zealand charity (CC53326) dedicated to keeping pets healthy and with their loving families, regardless of financial circumstances.
Founded in 2016, we provide subsidized desexing, emergency food support, and temporary shelter to prevent animal suffering and reduce unnecessary surrenders to shelters.
