Lost dogs and dogs for adoption
Is your dog missing? Call us! Our animal management officers may have picked it up. Phone: 06 356 8199
Sometimes dogs go walkabout. As animal lovers, we know that's a scary prospect. Our animal management team respond to all reports of roaming dogs so they may have picked up your dog to keep it safe. It's always a good idea to get in touch with us to check.
If your dog is microchipped and registered and your contact details are up to date, we'll be able to reunite you quickly. If we can't, your dog may be taken to our animal shelter.
The list below identifies dogs that are currently in the shelter. It's updated every week day. From time to time the list may also include livestock, and dogs available for adoption. We regularly update the "found date" of dogs available for rehoming, to increase their chances of being seen.
What to do if your dog is in the pound
Call us on the number above, and our customer team will advise you on the next steps and book a time for you to visit the shelter.
Please note, you'll have to pay the impound fees before you visit to pick up your dog. We will only release your dog once we've confirmed it's registered and all fees are paid, and we can't accept payment at the shelter.
Shelter open by appointment only
The shelter is located at 115 Tōtara Road, off Maxwells Line in Palmerston North.

Five-month-old Snoopy has a beautiful nature - he'll sit nicely when asked and loves a game of fetch. Our shelter team say he's very loving with a lot of potential. He has big paws so will grow into a big goofy boy and has a cute habit of sticking his tongue out when he's thinking. Bearded Collies are a working breed so Snoopy is suited to someone active or with a large property.
