Watch out PAK'nSAVE customers - Zelda is coming through!!! 🤗

This adorable puppy has just begun her journey to becoming an Assistance Dog for a young New Zealander with a disability.

For now, she’s busy being the cutest passenger princess ever and getting used to all kinds of public spaces!

Well done, Zelda 👏

Will you join us for the Blue Puppy Appeal Street Collection this September? 🥰💙🐾

Just two hours on the street on Friday 18 or Saturday 19 September can help change the lives of more young New Zealanders with disabilities.

The Blue Puppy Appeal is our biggest fundraising moment of the year, with one big goal: helping more puppies begin their journey towards becoming Assistance Dogs.

More donations means more puppies, more Assistance Dogs - and more adorable faces for us all to fall in love with along the way.

Because Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust receives no government funding, we rely entirely on the generosity of our community. Every donation collected brings another puppy one step closer to changing a child's life.

💙 Register now for a two-hour shift in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin.

Thank you to everyone who came along to Meet the Dogs in Christchurch on Saturday! 🥰

Wilson, Phoebe, Toffee, Phill, Baxter, and Timothy loved every second of meeting you all - and we loved watching them soak up all the love and attention.

Each of these dogs is training to become a life-changing Assistance Dog for a young New Zealander, and it was so wonderful to bring together some of the people who make their journeys possible.

Big thanks too to Alison from georges road wines, who came along with their Paw it Forward wine - 100% of proceeds go straight to our dogs in training. 🐾

We can't wait to get together again soon! 🎉
