I'm rapt to be a part of ADNZT; our team of amazing staff produce incredible dogs that assist New Zealanders to engage with their community and the wider world on their own terms. Our dogs remove barriers, and our staff support the process of independence, diversity and inclusion in communities throughout Aotearoa. I'm humbled by the amazing work our team does on a daily basis.

I love my job as no 2 days are the same – 1 day cuddling newborn puppies, the next working with dogs about to go out and change someone’s world for the better. ADNZT is an amazing organisation to be part of, everyone is truly invested for a better life for all.
