Lost, Found and Adoptable Dogs
Lost dogs
To report lost or missing dogs, please contact us with the following details:
- A full description of the dog
- Dog tag number and whether it was wearing a collar
- The date, time and last known address it was seen.
Impounded dogs
If your dog is impounded by one of our Animal Management team and it is microchipped, we will contact you. You will need to pay any impounding, microchipping, sustenance and registration fees before your dog can be released.
Fees can be paid by cash or EFTPOS at our Customer Service Centre in Ngātea, Waihī or Paeroa.
If we have any dogs that are impounded and we do not know who they belong to, these dogs will be advertised on our Facebook Page, Hauraki Pound Pups.
Surrender your dog
If you wish to surrender your dog, please give our Animal Management team a call to discuss your options.
Dogs up for adoption
We rehome suitable dogs that have been abandoned or surrendered.
Any dogs that are available for adoption will be advertised on our Facebook Page, Hauraki Pound Pups, and an email sent to those who have expressed an interest in adopting a pound dog.
If you would like to be added to our database and contacted when we available dogs for rehoming, please complete and return the pre-adoption application form and we will add you to our email list.
If you are interested in adopting a dog, our Animal Management Team check your previous ownership history and complete a property inspection. They will arrange a ‘meet and greet’ and then a trial before you need to fully commit to adopting.
An adoption fee will be discussed with the new owner, but it is a small fee along with the commitment that the new owner will de-sex the dog.
