This year, NZTOPDOG is organising a fundraiser.


This year, we wanted to give the aroha back to our communities. Every year, our campaign is supported and celebrated by a variety of incredible charities across Aotearoa, all of whom mahi tirelessly to make a positive impact for dogs in their respected communities.


All money (100%) will go to NZ mental health and dog-related charities.
