Perfect Partners is a Charitable Trust based in the Greater Auckland Region that was established to train Disability Assist Dogs for people not currently supported by existing Disability Assist Dog organisations in New Zealand. We are focusing on people with neurological conditions including autism, alzheimers, acquired brain injury, and certain psychiatric conditions but will also work with other individuals.

Welcome to the family
Perfect Partners has a new member of the family, a black Labrador puppy which has been named Angus (Gus for short). The past few weeks have seen Gus settling into city life after, a big change for a young puppy who grew up in the country near the scenic Lake Taupo.
He has been a wonderful addition to the Perfect Partners family, settling in well with his puppy raising family and his new friends Odin and Dini. Gus has started going on outings in the past two weeks, starting with small short trips, building up to a trip to Sylvia Park which is possibly the busiest mall in New Zealand. His first trip to Sylvia Park he travelled in style in the shopping trolley on a towel (for hygiene), but on his most recent trip he spent most of the time walking on his own four feet meeting people and learning to follow his puppy raisers lead.
We look forward to updating you all with further progress about Angus and his training, and about the other dogs in the programme. New adult dogs have recently entered the programme and we now have clients from all over the Auckland region, as well as clients in the South Island. We have been receiving a lot of email queries, and we are working through these as quickly as we can.
