Sponsor a Mobility Pup and transform a life
These pups will help give a disabled New Zealander life changing loyalty. The puppy you sponsor will become an extra set of hands, and a best friend too, and from as little as $7 a week, or $30 a month, you can make a big impact in someone’s life.
Your sponsorship will provide the training and care they need to become a life-changing companion. Be part of their story and watch them grow!

How your support helps
- *1 in 6 New Zealanders live with the impact of disability every day. Mobility Dogs provide vital support, easing the challenges for both individuals and their loved ones.
- Your support will help train more Mobility Dogs to give greater independence, and life changing loyalty to disabled New Zealanders.
- Every year we have a growing number of people asking us to support them with a Mobility Dog and it is challenging for us to keep up with demand.
- Mobility Dogs make a life-changing difference to disabled people helping with practical tasks such as picking up dropped items, retrieve or carry items, or opening and closing doors and drawers.
- A partnership with a Mobility Dog also offers emotional support, companionship and unconditional love. They also help to reduce loneliness and improve confidence, enabling many people to take on new challenges and experiences.
