K9DC's HALL OF FAME
This is where we honour the dogs who have shaped the heart of K9DC.
​
From the very first dogs who joined us, to the incredible success stories and those who have left an unforgettable pawprint on our journey, each one has helped make K9DC what it is today.

Their stories mean the world to us - click below to discover more
KIMBA
The one who started it all.
Kimba was by Natalie’s side from the very beginning. Once a troubled teen with multiple behavioural challenges, Kimba’s journey was one of patience, understanding, and the most rewarding growth.
Through working together, she blossomed into the most loving, loyal, and incredible companion (earning her place as the true Queen of K9DC).
​
It was Kimba’s transformation that inspired K9 Development Centre to become more than just a daycare, shaping the heart, values, and approach we stand for today.
Although Kimba is no longer with us, her legacy lives on through the company and proudly within our logo. The funniest, fluffiest, and most unforgettable girl. She is missed every single day.
SAXON
Saxon, the German Shepherd, was Kimba's right-hand man (better known as her boyfriend).
​
He was K9DC's very first client and was a mainstay at
the centre until he sadly passed away in 2024. He has
since been immortalised on one of our vans.
​
Saxon loved day care so much that he would often leave home and walk himself to daycare (even on weekends when we were closed!).
We'll never forget his floppy ears, ​vocal nature and free spirit nature.
OSWALD & MONTY
Oswald (Ozzy)​ the Pug and Monty the Dachshund x Terrier have been mainstays from the very early days. The most adorable pair of little legs, with the biggest personalities.
​
Ozzy is sadly no longer with us (he's up there hoovering up all the treats), but Monty is keeping the pack alive at the grand old age of 11!​
ZURI & KITO
Zuri and Kito, the most beautiful pair of Ridgebacks you could hope to meet (inside and out).​​​ Once they love you, they'll never leave you!
​
Zuri is no longer around, but he was the ultimate gentleman, often being seen removing himself from sight to toilet in private. He's another that now adores the side of our vans.
​
Kito is still a day care regular, although she's slowed down in her older years she's still a bundle of love who gives the best cuddles.
OSCAR & MARTHA
Oscar and Martha, the most beautiful pair of Shepherds were among the original gang roaming the centre when it was little more than a fence around a field.
​
The pair - Mother and Son - were the stars of the show, with their contrasting coats they were always front and centre for a photoshoot!
