Meet Kali
Breed: Rhodesian Ridgeback
Barking from: Wellington
What's up dog?
Kali is equal parts poochie charm, goofiness and compassion & she is the epitome of a working gal. Kalis day to day schedule includes roaming around the worksite, supervising all the contractors and checking in on them regularly. She organises stress-relief initiatives - such as zoomie entertainment, dress ups, and playtime sessions - to help alleviate work-related pressures. With her soft velvet ears, Kali is also a great listener & shes always got cuddles to give, fostering a safe space for all workers to retreat to on site. Kali also isnt afraid to show off her goofiness which never fails to encourage smiles, happiness and good well being on site. She is excellent at bringing teams together & promoting socialisation. Kali is always willing to lend a paw, a wagging tail, or a cuddle to anyone.
