Dogs providing Dogter love to hospital patients

$1,410 of $6,000 goal
Given by 9 generous donors in 11 weeks

We need to fundraise $6,000 to create our charity website & booking platform to connect with dog owners for hospital and hospice visits.

Auckland

How good does it feel to have time with your pooch, to sit and pat them, talk to them and feel their unconditional love and companionship? Good right? We want to give that feeling to as many people as we can and especially to those who we know it’d simply make their day, week, month. In order for us to get started, we need your support.

We need $6,000 to finish our charity website which will provide hospital patients & palliative patients with a way to connect with dog owners for hospital and hospice visits.

The purpose of the charity is to provide a platform to enable dog visits into hospital for patients as the health advantages are vast and well researched. We know dogs love unconditionally, we know dogs are in tune with those in need and we know the health benefits are beneficial.

Our goal is build a website and booking platform to enable carers, hospitals and patients to connect with suitable dogs/dog owners and arrange visits. We have raised most of the money ourselves however we need $6,000 to finish the website, booking platform and the legal T&Cs to be able to start this work.

We would love your help. Please donate whatever you’re able to...

Adam my surgeon and I whilst chatting, learnt with both support hospice and love dogs. He has patients and also wanted to facilitate care to patients with dogs because of the health benefits but we need a charity for the hospitals to allow.
