There were plenty of smiles around the office when we recently welcomed Baxter and Toffee from Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust.
Baxter is already making a difference as a qualified assistance dog, while Toffee is still in training with our Business Recovery and Tax teams proud to be supporting her journey. It was great to learn more about the incredible work ADNZT does to help New Zealanders gain greater independence and confidence through assistance dogs.
Hearing firsthand about the impact these dogs have on individuals and families was a powerful reminder of the difference the organisation makes in communities across New Zealand.
A big thank you to Sinead Horgan and Hannah Butler for bringing Baxter and Toffee in and sharing more about ADNZT and its mission. We value our partnership with Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust and are proud to support the important work they do and play a small part in Toffee's journey toward becoming an assistance dog.
ADNZT's annual Blue Puppy Appeal is coming up on 18 and 19 September, with volunteers needed to help raise funds so more puppies can join the assistance dog training programme for Kiwi kids waiting for support. If you're looking for a meaningful way to give back, we'd encourage you to get involved!
