Mani and Michelle.
Help to bring this precious little dog to NZ for a better life.
Manawatu / Whanganui
After volunteering in Samoa with SPAW, I met and fell in love with a dear little dog that had no home, no parasite treatments or nobody to love him. After 3 trips to Samoa, several disappointments, many tears and a whole lot of money spent, I am almost ready to welcome my little man Mani into New Zealand.
You can read my full story on the SPAW website and if this little dog touches your heart as he has mine, feel free to donate to help me finalise his trip.

Latest update
2 weeks of Mani 3 August 2026
It’s been just over 2 weeks since Mani entered our lives here in NZ.
He made himself at home and was very excited to meet his doggie brothers and sisters. After a few growls and hackles up he has made best friends with our heading dog Pill.
He enjoys going to work every day with my husband and gets to go on farms, chew on horse hoof that he has become obsessed with and see different parts of our district. Back at home he has 2 teddys he likes to chew and then sleep with. Considering his background he has the best manners and is such a loving cuddly little man.
Our lives have been truely blessed having him as part of our family. I will be forever grateful for the night he found me and I found him in Samoa❤️
