Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust

Our mission is to enrich the lives of New Zealanders living with a disability.

Nationwide

We are proud to have over 43 graduated dogs throughout the country, helping our clients achieve independence and experience new life opportunities. But sadly, the need for our services far outweighs our current capacity and our waitlist has exceeded 5 years.

Please help us to reduce this wait-time by donating today. Your donation will help us train and graduate more dogs to meet the needs of our ever-growing community.

Donations can be made directly on our website www.assistancedogstrust.org.nz or via this page. You can also sponsor a puppy from just $5 a week and follow their journey as they grow into a fully-trained Assistance Dog. Visit our website for more information.

More about us

We are internationally accredited by Assistance Dogs International and have NZ government-granted public rights access for all of our dogs. We have over 43 graduated teams throughout New Zealand.

Hi Sam and Liam - all of us here at Delta Friendship Link - want to wish you heaps of good wishes while we are all still in Lockdown. We had so much fun designing the beautiful shoes for your Boot Fence so we could walk with you and Liam.
