Retired Working Dog Adoption NZ was founded in July 2012. Our aim is to find a loving retirement home for these amazing dogs, after all their years of hard work. Working dogs are the backbone of our country, and when they are no longer able to do their job on the big farms, we are here to help them find a place to spend the rest of their days in comfort.
We also take in young "failed dogs" who are not talented enough for the job they were bred for, as well as dogs who have sustained an injury and whose owner's cannot justify spending the money to fix them.
