If you need to update your details, such as address, phone number or email, or update your dog’s details, including de-sexing or microchipping details; you can do this online or by coming into one of our Council Service Centres.
We also require a copy of the de-sexing and/or microchipping certificates as evidence. You can upload these files when completing the online form or we can take a copy if you come to one of our Council Service Centres.
Change of dog ownership
If you sell, rehome or give away your dog you will need to let us know so we can update your details. To change ownership of your dog, please complete the online form or call into one of our Council Service Centres to complete a form. You will need to know the name and contact details of the new owner when completing the form.
Ownership will not be changed until we have written permission from both the old and new owners, and you will be advised when this process is completed.
If you are wanting to change ownership of a dog that is classified as dangerous, you must apply to us in writing prior to rehoming the dog as the new property will need to meet the fencing requirements. Email the details to info@hauraki-dc.govt.nz and our Animal Control Team will be in touch to discuss this further.
