About Us

Chained Dog Rehabilitation & Rehoming NZ (CDRRNZ) is a registered charity that is fighting to end the life-chaining of dogs in New Zealand. We specialise in working with Life Chained Dogs, and have gained many years of experience and expertise in this area. All of the people working with CDRRNZ are volunteers who give their time freely to help those who can’t speak for themselves.

How do we do this? With a mission, with direction, and most of all, with a passion to make a BIG difference!

Our Mission
To help empower dog owners by providing them with the tools necessary that will remove the need for dogs to be life-chained.
To act with integrity, and work alongside any other organisations as needed, to provide a unified response to reach this result.
To provide rehabilitative care to any dogs relinquished so they may live a happy and fulfilling life.
To advocate for law change in all aspects of animal welfare.
