Friends of the Rescue

GATTUNG FOUNDATION

The Gattung Foundation was created to support causes that touch our hearts, and make a tangible difference to people’s lives and the world we live in – the heart effect.

Causes that lift children and people out of poverty; lift women out of situations of inequality, hardship or violence; lift young women, Māori and Pasifika into futures of leadership and empowerment; and lift animals into better lives.

Why are we doing this? Because, simply put, we couldn’t not do it. Injustices sadden us, and what’s more, they do all of us harm. We want to use the opportunities and resources we have, to create opportunities for all to thrive.

Our vision is to empower the less advantaged, to support them so that they can stand strong and know that anything is possible. When we do this, we can create a legacy that will make. real. change. for many generations to come.

MY HOOMAN

For many dog years, humans have been adopting furry companions based on ‘wants’. But what about the dog’s needs?

MyHooman believes every pupper, doggo and woofer should come first, so we’ve flipped adoption on its head by matching the right human to every pet. This is why we have created a shelter management platform which not only manages the admin, but also connects shelters with potential adopters.

It’s our mission to match every dog with their forever human and we’re proud to be partnering with shelters to create them a range of shelter solutions to make the adoption process a walk in the park.

PET REMEDY

Welcome to Pet Remedy, Pet Calming products…

Pet Remedy works by providing a highly attractive environmental scent that pets like cats and dogs respond to. In times of stress or anxiety our pets can get over stimulated, which leads on to the many different signs of stress we see in them.

The special Pet Remedy blend of essential oils is valerian based and works by distracting pets from environmental stress. Cats, dogs and other pets have highly developed olfactory systems and are particularly capable of detecting volatile scents.

The living environment of pets largely determines their quality of life and the importance of environmental scents is recognized as a key factor in helping anxious or stressed pets feel calmer and more relaxed. Always consult your vet if your pet shows signs of stress or you observe any behavioural changes.
