Raising awareness about and funds for Pet Refuge New Zealand Charitable Trust
Dunedin, Otago
Kia ora,
I'm Annie, and together with my best mate Jack, my six-year-old Border Collie, we're setting off on one big adventure with one important purpose: raising awareness and funds for Pet Refuge New Zealand.
Pet Refuge helps families and their beloved pets escape situations of family violence.
Many families choose not to leave dangerous situations. They don't want to leave their pets behind to face violence or neglect, so they stay.
Our journey will begin with a series of fundraising events and community activities, bringing together animal lovers, local businesses and organisations to get behind this important cause.
Then, in March 2027, all going to plan, Jack and I will hit the road, biking from Bluff to Picton. Jack will be travelling alongside me in his cart or in our support vehicle, as I make way way through the South Island.
Along the way, we hope to visit towns and communities, connect with local supporters and work with businesses and organisations to host sponsored events and fundraising activities, spreading awareness of Pet Refuge as we go.
Every donation, sponsorship, event and shared story can make a difference. All donations will be matched up to $5000, totaling $10,000.
We'd love you to be part of the adventure. Follow our journey, share our story, get involved in a fundraising event and, if you can, donate to support Pet Refuge NZ.
Annie & Jack 🐾❤️
