The Dog Rescue Project

As many of you know, earlier this year we announced that Chained Dog Rehabilitation & Rehoming NZ would be changing our name to The Dog Rescue Project. This change reflects how our work has grown and evolved, while our mission remains the same — to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need, and to create long-term change through prevention and advocacy.

We are aware that some of you have noticed our Givealittle page still displays our previous name. We want to assure you this is not an oversight. The update is dependent on the Charities Commission completing their formal processes, and unfortunately, this step is outside of our control.

While the administrative side of the transition is still being finalised, we are already operating proudly as The Dog Rescue Project. Our work continues as always — partnering with the SPCA, local councils, vets, and communities to make a difference for dogs across New Zealand.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing support as we move through this final stage of the change. We look forward to the future as The Dog Rescue Project and to continuing this journey with you.
