Big week of distraction training for siblings Archie and Ash!

Ash tested her patience with some ducks - nailed it! While Archie met some very large, very rude dogs who refused to play with him.

Their loss, really! 😁

This October, Noxen is proud to team up with Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust to support the incredible work they do helping children with disabilities live more independently with the support of specially trained assistance dogs.

Throughout October, use code ADNZT to get $5 off any Poocho or hooded towel - and Noxen will donate $5 to Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust.

While your pup gets a Poocho they’ll love, you’ll also be helping make a difference to someone who needs an extra helping paw.

Get your Poocho and matching hooded towel at noxen.co.nz

WOW - the Blue Puppy Appeal raised over $135,000! 🥳💙🐾

A massive thank you to everyone who helped us get there - those who donated, volunteered at our street collection, shared our posts, or supported us in any way. This result simply wouldn't have been possible without you.

These funds will help us welcome and train more Assistance Dog puppies for young New Zealanders with disabilities. Because of our community's generosity, more lives will be changed - and we can't wait to keep sharing the journey with you. 🐾🐾🐾

From all of us at Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust, thank you for believing in our mission, and for helping our puppies grow into life-changers. 💙

We are thrilled to share that our special girl, Roha, has graduated and began her working life. 🎓🐾

Because of people like you, she's now offering constant companionship and practical support for a Kiwi family - who will now be able to live more independently and participate in their community with greater confidence.

To every donor, puppy sponsor, volunteer and supporter who helped get her there - thank you for changing another family's life. 💙

This year, we went bigger than we ever have before. 💙🐶

We set our most ambitious Appeal goal yet — $150,000 — because the children waiting for a life-changing Assistance Dog deserve nothing less than our biggest, boldest effort.

And our community really showed up. Thanks to supporters like you, we've already raised $121,145 — proof of what we can do when we aim high together.

Now we've got 3 days to finish what we started. Donations are still being doubled by an anonymous donor, up to $10,000, so there's never been a better moment to be part of it.

Can you please help us cross the line — and be part of the biggest Appeal we've ever done?

The real MVPs of last weekend's street collection? Our blue-coat-wearing puppies and dogs, who reported for duty at collection sites across Aotearoa. 🫡💙🐶

And right next to them were around 200 incredible volunteers who helped bring us a big step closer to our $150,000 Blue Puppy Appeal target. Thank you so much - and thank you to everyone who stopped to make a generous donation.

But we've still got a way to go - and with just one week left, we urgently need your help.

This week an anonymous donor is matching every donation, up to $10,000 - so whatever you give does double the work for the 15 children still waiting for their assistance dog.

💙 Please donate here: www.bluepuppyappeal.co.nz

Before Pepper, Elise rarely left the house. Her invisible disability made everyday life incredibly difficult. She could no longer attend school, and she spent most of her time sitting under a blanket, disengaged from the world — she wasn't even using screens.

Assistance Dog, Pepper, has given Elise the confidence and support to step back into the world. Today, she is going places independently, seeing friends and doing things without her parents or support workers for the first time.

And right now, 15 more children are waiting for an Assistance Dog of their own.

It's the final week of the Blue Puppy Appeal — and right now an anonymous donor is matching every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.
So a gift today does double the work: helping give another child the support they need to live a more fulfilling life. 💙🐶
