We often have dogs come into our pound that are either surrendered or are unclaimed strays. We carry out temperament testing of all unwanted dogs and if deemed suitable, they are offered for adoption. We work hard to ensure that the dogs looking for homes are matched with suitable families, ensuring that t

hey don’t end up back with us. If you are interested in adopting a dog, or would like us to have a chat with us about potentially adopting one, please contact the Animal Control Team on 07 306 0500.
