We have endeavoured to list all dog rescue organisations in New Zealand where de-sexed, vaccinated and micro-chipped dogs may be adopted. This list will be ever-changing, so advice of any additions, deletions or changes is warmly welcomed. Changes may be advised via e-mail to dogkindbodywork@gmail.com.
Our gorgeous girl Georgie came to us via the SPCA. A short-term foster who we decided very early on was destined to be part of our family. We hope this page helps you find your next wonderful canine companion!
