Meet Dougie

Breed: Goldendoodle

Barking from: Auckland

What's up dog?

Dougie has the most infectious personality and makes people smile everywhere he goes.Because of his unique look, he often gets stopped for pats and cuddles making people happy without even trying.Dougie loves his treats and supporting local businesses by tasting, using and buying NZ made products! He enjoys posing for a good photo because said treats are usually involved in the process! When Dougie is older and a little calmer we want him to learn to be a companion dog so he can do more good in our West Auckland community! Until then, he is becoming known on Instagram for his cheeky antics and funny character traits… and his hairstyles which are unruly and have a mind of their own! He has a big heart and is a floofy ball of aroha!!

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.
