The new puppy I sponsor

[Gizmo]

So I've been sponsoring a puppy for a couple of years but sadly the puppy didn't make it completely through the program and instead got adopted by a loving family.

I got the option to choose another puppy and I chose Toffee.

They're through a New Zealand charity called Assistance Dogs where the dogs work as companions for people with various different disabilities.

I was born on the 31st of March 2025, part of a very special litter of 11 puppies. All of us are training to become Assistance Dogs, and our names all start with the letter “T”! My siblings are Tui, Troy, Titan, Taco, Talia, Taine, Toka, Tilly, Tāwera, and of course, me - Toffee. One of our littermates, Teardrop, sadly crossed the rainbow bridge because her little body just wasn't strong enough. She will always be remembered in our hearts.

Do you get to visit the puppy in person?

Maybe. I never got to meet the last one although I've met another one of their puppies. They sometimes do events for sponsors so I'll need to go to one sometime.

I think the cool thing is they can sense when someone is going to have a seizure or if they're having serious issues with their diabetes.
