What's up dog?

Kuma is a rescue that had severe separation anxiety, instead of sending her to day care I made a bet that if the work TikTok could get 3k views on one of my videos, Kuma, along with my other dog Dobby and my foster dogs would be allowed into the office with me, @wellyfun Kuma is now the main character on the tik Tok page and helped us get some attraction! Kuma comes in every Wednesday, and the whole office looks forward to her arriving! Its the one day nobody works from home or misses, when the staff is fed up of sitting at their desks, they take Kuma for a walk around the block and come back refreshed and ready! Kuma (who is a fantastic foster mum to many different species of animals), has got an amazing skill when it comes to reading peoples emotions and always knows who needs a bit of 1-1 attention and cuddles!

2025 NZ People's Choice Award

We believe no dog should be left behind.


Every dog entered into the competition is automatically in the running for the 2025 People’s Choice Award — and the winner will be decided by you, the public.


This year, we’re giving the aroha back to our communities.


Each year, our campaign is supported by a number of incredible charities across Aotearoa that work tirelessly to improve the lives of dogs and people alike. In 2025, we’re shining a spotlight on these organisations and the vital mahi they do.


As part of the voting process, every voter will have the chance to donate to our amazing mental health or dog-focused charities.


It’s your vote, your voice, and your opportunity to make a difference.
