Member-only story
Here at Chive, we are on a mission to empower Kiwis to find and donate to causes they care about. There are some incredible charities doing important work, but at the heart of these organisation’s are inspirational, committed humans.
So we welcome you to our first edition of Creating Change, a series we are running to tell the stories of inspirational leaders here in Aotearoa. We hope to inspire you to see the change you can make in your community from these authentic, honest and well… human stories.
Our series begins with Amanda Fraser-Jones, Trustee and Founder of Chained Dog, a dog rehabilitation & rehoming charity based in Auckland — Tāmaki Makaurau.
Can you share a little bit about yourself and your journey to date?
I’m currently in Auckland however come from Te Puke in the Bay of Plenty. I have always loved animals, having grown up on a farm. After having my daughter at 18 my focus became supporting her, and I was too busy to have dogs. My jobs ranged from a Bailiff at the courts, Enforcement for council, to Sales and Marketing and website building. I’m a big believer in forging your own destiny and making change when you need to, which is how I went from Tauranga to Hamilton to now Auckland.
