President : Vicky Graham

President@Caninefriends.org.nz

My involvement with Canine Friends Pet Therapy began in the early 1990’s as a volunteer and committee member. With much pride I have witnessed the growth of our organisation from small beginnings in Wellington to a recognised and respected nationwide charity. In 2015 I was privileged to be recognised as an honorary member.

I established Canine Friends in Taupo in 2008 and am currently acting liaison officer for Waikato.

Since 2017 I have filled the roles of vice president and funding/sponsorship coordinator.

I wholeheartedly believe in our work and helping those who can no longer enjoy the benefits of owning a dog – this was our beginning and to me is the essence of our charity.
