True Animal Lovers
NAO
Ever since she was a little girl Nao has dreamed of working with animals and creating an environment to keep them happy.
She has dedicated most of her life to working on this dream, spending decades volunteering at animal shelters, caring for homeless animals while they look for a new home. She has also worked at the Vet at Wellington Zoo and the SPCA, and at a pet store in Tokyo, and a Dog Boarding Kennel in Wellington.
Having worked primarily for non profit organisations, her standard of animal care is very high. She has worked with animals of all ages and sizes and with various health and medical conditions.
