About Us
Who We Are
Pawsitive Rescue is a New Zealand-based, grassroots animal rescue driven by aroha, kaupapa Māori values, and a fierce love for every animal. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals across Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond — creating second chances for those who can’t ask for help themselves.
Our Kaupapa
- We operate with compassion, transparency, and a deep sense of community:
- Manaakitanga – Respect and care for animals and whānau
- Kaitiakitanga – Protecting our native taonga and environment
- Whanaungatanga – Strengthening connections across communities
- Kotahitanga – Working together toward long-term change
“It’s not just about rescue — it’s about restoring hope, healing trauma, and creating belonging.”
Compassionate Care
At Pawsitive Rescue, every animal in our care receives compassionate support and attention. Whether they’re healing from illness or trauma or simply seeking a family, we prioritize their well-being at every step.
