Meet Shadow

Breed: Border Collie Cross

Barking from: Mosgiel, Dunedin

What's up dog?

For a young boisterous social 1 year old, this lovely boy has a beautiful gentle nature for his size. He enjoys all the attention he can receive from adults down to children and even dogs. For little dogs, he will drop down to the ground to play. He seems to attract plenty of attention and will sit and take all the patting he can receive until that person stops and he will ask for more. His excitement cannot be contained sometimes when he knows someone. So proud of his training he is so keen to learn and hope will go far.

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.
