ABOUT US
Ellie's Canine Rescue and Rehome is a dog rescue and registered charity created by founders Vicky and Nicole in 2019 (CC56924). The Rescue was named after Vicky's late dog Ellie, her first rescue dog.
We take in dogs from private surrenders as well as from many pounds across New Zealand. All of our dogs are assessed before we take them and then carefully placed into volunteer foster homes where they are taught the basics and cared for until adopted.
Read about some of the 1000+ dogs we've rescued and rehomed in Our Stories.
We are based in the Greater Wellington region and all of our dogs are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flead and wormed before adoption. We do not have a shelter or base of operations so if you wish to arrange meeting a dog you are interested in please fill in the pre-adoption form.
Since we started, Ellie's Canine Rescue has rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed over 1000 dogs and puppies. We are truly passionate about dogs and put their welfare first, dedicating all our free time to making sure they get the best life possible.
Ellie's Rescue and Rehome is a registered charity, we do not receive government funding in any way. We rely totally on donations, gifts, grants and our own fundraising activities for income. We'd love you to donate.
