In the world of stray animals, many stories are filled with pain and regret. However, there is one undeniable truth behind these stories—sometimes, pets don’t get the love they truly deserve. Recently, during our visit to a local animal shelter, the shelter manager shared many heartbreaking stories with us. These stories not only filled us with sorrow but also made us realize that love is not just a verbal promise; it is a responsibility put into action.

At NZPAP, we believe every dog deserves a chance at safety, comfort, and love. That’s why, on March 15, 2024, our team spent a heartfelt afternoon at Riverside Stray Dog Shelter—rolling up our sleeves, greeting each wagging tail, and simply being present with these resilient animals.
