From today, Aotearoa New Zealand has banned live animal exports by sea. Kiwi's let the government know that they abhor the suffering caused by this brutal industry - and the New Zealand Labour Party listened.

However, the New Zealand National Party and the Act Party have both stated their intention to reverse the ban if they are elected to govern this year.

Please click on the image below to let them know how you feel about their cruel decision. Thank you.

What a great turnout at the protest organised by Chained Dog Awareness NZ today. ?

Signs were displayed, submission flyers distributed to passersby, previously chained dogs greeted everyone, car horns barped in support, and public interest was high.

It was wonderful to see some of our volunteers there, along with other animal rescue charities who know from first-hand experience that life chaining of dogs is an abomination.

Please be quick to make submissions to the government before 5pm on the 15th March 2023. Guidance and tips on the facebook page of Chained Dog Awareness NZ.

We were also very happy to see Animal Justice Party Aotearoa NZ represented. This is the first political party ever founded to ensure the rights of animals are not forgotten. Please check out their website to pay a $5 membership before the upcoming elections.

PLEASE SHARE. SEEKING EXPERIENCED DOG WALKERS / FOSTERERS. NORTH SHORE, AUCKLAND.

We have a number of traumatized dogs in our care who need experienced dog walkers or fosterers to help them with their learning as they undergo intensive training with Good Dog Training.

If you are physically strong and able to commit to a minimum of one walk each week, or you are able to offer a securely fenced foster home, we would love to hear from you please. ? We look forward to welcoming you to the team!

You will need to have your own vehicle and be prepared to reinforce the training techniques we are following.
