What's up dog?

Cashew has been the big brother to about 15 foster puppies and 75 foster kittens since we adopted him 2 years ago. He teaches our pups to be well-balanced socialised dogs and sets our kittens up for success by getting them used to dogs before being adopted. Cash is the sweetest dog despite his ‘scary’ appearance and he’ll happily lie in bed with us all day if we let him, I’ve never met such a cuddly dog! He’s definitely helped me with my mental health struggles the past couple years and he is constantly inspiring me to help more animals like him.

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.
