The Dog Dignity Collective is a nationwide grooming support initiative by The Dog Rescue Project.

We exist to ensure that no dog in Aotearoa lives in discomfort due to untreated matting, preventable coat neglect, or lack of access to professional grooming.

For many families, grooming has become financially out of reach. For some there is a lack of understanding how important grooming is. But grooming is not cosmetic — it is welfare.

Through a network of professional groomers across New Zealand, Dogs With Dignity provides:

• Subsidised grooming for families in hardship

• Fully funded emergency de-matting cases

• Items to help with coat care

• Education to prevent future neglect

We believe every dog deserves comfort, care, and dignity — regardless of circumstance.
