Meet Noki

People's Choice Finalist

Meet Noki

Breed: Labrador

Barking from: Dunedin

What's up dog?

Noki comes to work every day at the Dunedin SPCA Vet clinic. Most people are unaware about the impact it has on our animal care staff that work in a shelter . They see neglect cases, abandoned animals and helpless new borns. It can be tough on their mental health. Thats where Noki comes in. Every morning he greets the staff with a stuffed toy, a wiggly butt and sometimes a little happy wee. He is always up for a cuddle when times get tough. He loves showing off his tricks like playing dead and army crawling along the floor although his favourite task is shredding all the cardboard boxes so they can fit in the recycling bin. He is also a star at helping our shy kittens come out of their shell
