Raise the Woof

Walk or run any distance in May to support Dogwatch. Every step counts - let's change lives, one paw at a time!

Dogwatch rescues and rehomes dogs in need. By joining our challenge, you'll be part of an incredible community dedicated to this cause.

Dogwtch rehomes over 100 dogs and assist hundreds of dog owners in the community every year. They take dogs from Canterbury pounds, including Waimakariri, Selwyn, Ashburton and Christchurch City pounds.

Your contributions will help raise the vital funds needed to keep their shelter open, operating, and thriving for our dogs.
