SPCA Auckland has some unusual animals up for adoption as it looks for foster homes to provide temporary shelter for chickens, roosters and goats.
The farm animals have been listed on the SPCA's adopt page and include a goat called Winchester and a rooster called Big Joe.
"There's not one thing we can pinpoint for the increase but we've found we need families. Even if it's just for a few days," an SPCA spokesperson told Stuff.
The SPCA says that fostering an animal for a period of time is free, with the organisation providing the animal's vet treatment and food.
The farm animals need a property that has plenty of space and high fences to keep the animals contained.
