Dulux and Pet Refuge
Dulux and Pet Refuge worked together to provide pet relief for domestic abuse victims.
Contrary to what many people think, cats, dogs, birds and many other animals can see particular colours. Dulux and Pet Refuge have collaborated with animal behaviouralist Mark Vette to create the following dog-friendly colour schemes using the Dulux Colours of New Zealand range.
See more about Pet Refuge
Dulux has partnered with Pet Refuge to help people and pets in need.
Dulux contributed a significant amount of products and resources for the build of the shelter by supplying all the paint and coatings needed such as decorative paints like Wash&Wear®, Weathershield® and Aquanamel®. Dulux provided technical advice and interior design expertise for the shelter. It is expected that the pets Pet Refuge will care for will be stressed or traumatised so the interior environment they enter must provide a calming and positive energy. Contrary to what many people think, cats, dogs, birds and many other animals can see particular colours, and hence the plan to incorporate this into the design of the shelter through the Dulux Colours of New Zealand®. We used colour to help create a sense of calm, harmony and optimism for both the animals and the people who work there. Dulux has also sponsored a ‘virtual brick’ in the names of each of its NZ employees.
