Animates Fundraiser - proudly supporting DC Rescue Dogs

About DC Rescue Dogs:

“DC Rescue Dogs is a non-profit organisation based in the Waikato, New Zealand. We do not have a shelter as such, and have all of our dogs and puppies in foster homes throughout the Waikato and Auckland regions. All meet and greets are by appointment only, around our work, family and other time commitments.

We first started rescuing dogs in 2012 and take in dogs in need from pounds and owner surrenders throughout the North Island. We grew quickly, and now rescue and rehome over 200 dogs a year thanks to our network of admins, foster parents and supporters. We care for them, do all the necessary work that all dogs deserve (desex, vaccinate, council register, microchip, registration with NZCAR, flea/worm), then place them into well-vetted forever homes nationwide.

All of our team members are volunteers working full-time jobs outside of the rescue, so every cent the rescue makes goes back into the dogs.

The best part about rescuing dogs is seeing them go from scared and hungry dogs to healthy, happy members of the family. When they get in somebody’s car and are too excited to be going to their new homes that they don’t even look back to say goodbye, we know we’ve done our job.”
