Adopting a dog
Suitable dogs that have been abandoned or surrendered can be adopted.
When adopting a dog it is important to match the dog to your family circumstances.
- Do you want an active dog or a quiet one?
- What size dog do you want?
You also need to consider the environment the dog will live in, and your ability to exercise and care for the dog for the next 15 years.
Fee
There will be a fee payable for dogs adopted through Hauraki District Council and this will be discussed further in the application process.
Application
