Dog Ownership
Become a Select dog owner and reduce your doggie registration fees!
Attention all urban dog owners who are currently listed as a Good or General owner. If you think you qualify to become a Select Owner, it’s now time to apply so you’ll pay less for your future dog registration fees!
To qualify as a Select Owner, you must meet all the following criteria:
- Live in an urban zoned dog area.
- Be already classed as a Good Owner or able to meet the Good Owner requirements. You’re likely to be in this category if you’ve not been convicted for dog offences, or if within the last two years you’ve not had a dog impounded on more than one occasion, and not received a written warning or infringement notice. If you’re not sure what your classification is, you can call us on 06 765 6099.
- Have an adequately fenced area on your property.
- All your dogs are neutered or any un-neutered dogs are pedigrees registered with New Zealand Dogs.
- Submitted your completed application form no later than 30 April 2025. Late applications will not be accepted, even if you’re just a little bit late.
Visit Stratford.govt.nz/DogOwners and download the Select Dog Ownership application form, or pick one up from council’s Service Centre on Miranda Street.
