Some Animal Control organisations pick up cats as well as dogs, so it pays to
check if your local one caters for cats too. Animal
Control (otherwise known as the Pound) is run through your local council.
WARNING: Animal Control will impound a stray for a period of seven days.
After which time, they could be euthanised or re-homed. Please call Animal
Control frequently to ensure this doesn't happen to your pet.
Animal Control Listings are in alphabetical order by Council name below.
Click on the listing you require for more information. Where possible we
give you the link to their web site with more information on local dog
bylaws, registration fees etc
These listings were collected way back in
2002...We have since had some updates reported. If you find a listing is
wrong/links are wrong etc, would you
please advise us so we can update our records below, thank you.
(Remember
there are other council areas in greater Auckland including Manukau,
Waitakere, North
Shore, Rodney, Papakura and
Franklin. It is worth checking
them ALL as your dog might be at any one of them. Luckily, it is a bit
easier in that Waitakere and North Shore share facilities and physical
locations.)
