Founded in 2014, Ruakaka Dog Rescue aims to bring about change and introduce responsible dog ownership to our local community. We want to reduce the numbers of puppies and dogs bred, traded, unregistered and without vaccinations that roam the streets. As a part of this mission, we support low income families with feeding, kennels, flea treatment, worm treatments and other assistance they may require.

We aim to promote, and provide where possible, de-sexing in order to decrease the number of unwanted pups born every year. We are small but we are extremely grateful to have the support of an amazing group of skilled people from within in the dog industry throughout New Zealand.
