At the start of 2020, Ethan signed up for the Career Navigator Community programme through Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.

After meeting different mentors who had such a variety in careers and experience, he knew going back to laboring wasn’t for him. Ethan wanted to do something different and after spending time on the programme, he realised he liked helping young people in the community.

Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort and Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington took the opportunity to hire him. He now helps other young people involved in the Career Navigator Community programme on their career journeys.

“He is one of the best hiring decisions we have made” Jehan Fitisemanu – General Manager, Graeme Dingle Foundation Wellington.

I love attention and cuddles and in addition to provide people with lots of love, I enjoy going for walks where I can show everybody how beautiful I actually am. My forever home would be a home where in the beginning someone would be by my side most of the time. Then I can get used to your routine and my new environment. I would benefit from continuing my basic training, which I've started at SPCA. I've done well so far with getting used to new people and new routine, but I need my new owner to continue the training with me, so I can become an even smarter doggo. I can be very shy with new people, particularly tall men or loud strangers. My new home would need to be a home with confident older kids or teenagers. My new owners will need to introduce me to new people slowly, as the world can be scary at times, and I haven't had too many people to trust in my previous life. A home with a confident, patient dog may work well for me. I enjoy playing with other social dogs. Unfortunately I am not suited to a home with cats/small animals."
