However this makes it possible for us to explore growth new op shop locations in the Wellington area, as we look to open more stores in the near future for the Wellington community.

Everything in our Petone Op Shop is currently on sale, with prices slashed from now until our closing date. Everything MUST GO before 31 July 2022. We will continue to gratefully accept items donated for the animals in our care, including blankets, towels and pet toys for our SPCA Wellington Centre – but please be aware that we will not be accepting donated items for resale.

Please consider shopping, donating or volunteering to our other local SPCA Op Shops in the area at:
🐾 Lower Hutt Op Shop, 6 Pretoria Street, Hutt Central, Lower Hutt 5010
🐾 Johnsonville Op Shop, 70 Johnsonville Road, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037

We’d like to thank you for many years of support at our Petone Op Shop, and helping to raise money for animals in need. Thank you for your sup-PAW-t Wellington 💙
