Dogs looking for a forever home

My name's Ralphie

3 December 2024

Ralphie the puppy is about 5 months old and the goodest boy that ever there was. He walks so nicely on the lead, doesn't pull at all, and even has some basic training like sit, down, and stay. That's pretty good for a little fella.

We're not sure what breed Ralphie is, but he's going to be a medium-sized dog when he's all grown-up. He's not high-energy, can be a bit exited when he sees you, but then gets all still for cuddles (which he's a big fan of).

If you can give Ralphie a forever home, we'd love you to meet him! Please call our Animal Control team on 06 765 6099 or email AnimalControl@stratford.govt.nz

This is a gorgeous puppy that would love nothing more than to get a loving home this Christmas.

What is Council's rehoming policy?

If a dog is unclaimed and/or the owner of an unregistered dog does not come forward after 7 days, Council will assess the dogs rehoming potential.

If the dog has rehoming potential (meaning it does not present a risk to people) Council will advertise the dog on this page and the Animal Control Facebook page.

If you would like to adopt a dog that we have advertised please contact Council 06 765 6099.

Council takes all steps necessary to provide a healthy and well-behaved dog for adoption. The Council will not be held responsible for the dog’s behaviour, health conditions or any claims following adoption.

Impounded dogs

Animal Control Officers can impound dogs that are found wandering or are a danger to people and stock. Once dogs are picked up, they are kept at the Stratford District Pound.

If a dog is registered in our system, our Animal Control Officer will try to contact the owner immediately.

If your dog is not microchipped and not registered in our system, Council will endeavour to find its owners by sharing the dog on the Stratford District Animal Control facebook page.

Fees must be paid in full at Council offices before you are able to collect your dog.

See Council's Fees & Charges for impoundment fees.
