Thank you for your interest in donating to our Rescue!

Our rescue is operated by Volunteers and relies solely upon donations, fundraising, bequests and sponsorship in order to take in surrenders and provide the healthcare and other necessities that each dog requires. 

All funds raised and/or deposited into our account go to the dogs that are in the care of the Trust as each of our Team Members are volunteers. Trust funds are used to: transport surrendered dogs around New Zealand to foster carers, Council registration and micro-chipping, vaccinating, de-sexing and other necessary veterinary care, together with purchasing any disposables required for the dog.  

We thank you immensely for the support and helping us to help the dogs who need it.

CAN I GET A TAX RECEIPT FOR MY DONATION?

Yes, absolutely! We are a New Zealand Registered Charity, as a result all donations made to us are tax deductible. You can claim back 33.33% of your donation! To claim the tax back, once you have made the donation please email us with your full name, postal address and the total amount donated. We will then send you a receipt to be used to claim back your tax. See the Inland Revenue Department website for further information.

CAN I GET A YEARLY SUMMARY RECEIPT FOR MY DONATION?

If you have started an automatic payment and would like an end of year summary of donations to file with the IRD, please email us at the end of the financial year (31 March each year) with your details (ie. the name you deposit under and last donation date) and we will prepare this for you to file.
