Wellington animal welfare activist leaves millions to SPCA

Margaret Doucas was an animal-mad five-year-old kid when she first walked through the doors of the Wellington SPCA to offer her services.

By the time she started school, the only daughter of a Greek immigrant family couldn't speak a word of English and found good company in the animals at the Newtown centre, for whom she developed an affinity and empathy that would last her lifetime. 

More than 60 years later, following her sudden death last year, Doucas has injected millions of dollars from her estate into the charity, making it debt free.
