Weta Workshop supports K9MD

Most New Zealanders have in some way been affected by the tragic impact of cancer. Weta Workshop is no exception. We have had friends and colleagues endure long periods of treatment and rehabilitation, and we have lost people. The K9MD team are making inroads into early detection. Their hard work is worthy of our support. To know that a dog’s superior sense of smell may play a crucial role in the future heath of all New Zealanders is truly remarkable.

Help Raise Levi

Raising kids is an expensive business, especially when they grow up so fast. Levi is no exception. If you would like to help us raise our very first puppy destined to become a medical detection dog and save lives, K9MD and Levi would be grateful of your help and support.
