Opportunity for Animals is a charity op shop at 162 Riddiford Street in Newtown, Wellington. The shop's profits support The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary in Ōtaki, which the website says cares for more than 100 rescued animals. The shop sells good-quality secondhand clothing, bric-a-brac, kitchenware, books and household goods. The website says it gives away items that cannot be sold, to reduce waste going to landfill. Donations of clean, sellable items can be dropped off during opening hours. The shop does not run a collection service, but it holds occasional donation drives, which are announced on social media. Volunteers usually do one regular shift of three to four hours a week.
Customers mention the clothing selection most often, along with the kitchenware and books. One regular donor, who is vegan and cares for animals, chose this shop because of the cause, and another said donating there was easy. The reviews are mixed. One customer who brought bags of good items to drop off said nobody responded, and another described the staff as rude and said they would not return. The shop is one of three Opportunity for Animals op shops in Wellington.
