Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust (ADNZT) is a registered charitable trust, providing purpose-trained dogs to enrich the lives of New Zealanders living with a disability. 72% of our clients are children and young adults under 20 years old, and 50% of our clients live with autism and often multiple disorders. Our clients and their families describe the arrival of their Assistance Dog as “life-changing”. We’re currently looking for individuals and families to open their homes to a puppy in training for around 14-18 months, until they go into formal training. During this time, we cover the cost of vet bills, puppy food and other essential daily expenses. This is an integral role which ensures our puppies grow up to become life-changing Assistance Dogs for their future clients. If you’re interested in supporting our mission, or know someone who may be, we’d love you to get in touch.
