Whanganui Adopt a Dog

02/07/2025

Charlie has been in the pound for way too long :-(,
In a loving home, is where he'd like to belong,

Charlie is a BIG, loving young boy,
he loves to go walking or play with a toy,

He can get really excited, so needs a firm hand,
he learns really fast and is starting to understand,
that jumping and pulling is not what we like,
so, he's learning some manners for when we go on a hike,

He'd suit an active family that just want to have fun,
another doggy playmate would help him a ton,

He's neutered and vaccinated and ready to go,
If you can offer him a good home, then please let us know,

You can use the council number to call us up,
or use the online form, if you want to apply for this pup :-)

We have pups available, puppies galore,
so very cute, and ready for you to adore 🥰,

These brown & white ones are all males,
they are so much fun with their waggly tails,

We think they're probably American bulldog/ staffy x,
if you want one, get in quick, if you miss out, it'll be your loss,

If you're keen to meet them, then give us a call,
We're sure, head over heels you will fall,

Alternatively, you can apply online,
either way, is just fine :-)

Owner found :-)

This poor guy was found wandering and lost,
He's safe with us here, out of the frost,

He's quite scared, so we're having to take things quite slow,
it's working, as his confidence is already starting to grow,

He's not chipped, so who knows who he is,
For us at the pound, it becomes a huge quiz,

Please call us if you know this handsome young man,
We really want to return him home if we can :-)

Please call the Animal Management team on (06)349-0001

Found in Central Whanganui.

UPDATE: owner has collected 🥰

Who's missing this gorgeous heading dog?
Obviously gone out on its own for a jog 🙂 LOL

No microchip, to be found,
so, staying here, with us at the pound,

Will have a nice big snuggly blanket for the night,
will be fed & warm, hopefully the owner will see its plight,

please give us a call at Animal control,
if you know this dear wee soul 🥰

Found in Springvale, Whanganui.

Running round Kai Iwi beach,
with no microchip, (and I hate to preach),

but microchips can save a life,
And help save you anguish and strife,

If you know this friendly lass at all,
Then please get in contact, give us a call :-)

Owner found :-)

This lovely boy has been found out Gonville way,
must have gone on an adventure for the day,

He looks to be a working dog off a farm,
I'm sure a missing farm dog would cause some alarm!!

No microchip, so we don't know who he could be,
Call us, if this is your dog, to reunite is what we like to see :-)

This beautiful young lady needs a new home,
She really doesn't like being left here alone,

She's a super cuddly girl, who just wants your love,
She'll follow you around, just like a glove 🥰

She's an active dog that will enjoy a good run,
or a play in the garden, just having fun,

We believe she's approximately 18 mths old,
We've tried her with cats and she's good as gold👍

She will need some training to help on her way,
but she learns really quickly when it involves lots of play,

If you're keen to adopt and believe she'd be a good fit,
Give us a call, so we can discuss her a bit...

alternatively, you could also apply online,
if that's easier and helps save you time :-)

UPDATE: Angus is going on Trial :-)

We have here, in the Whanganui pound,
a beautiful boy, for whom a new home must be found,

He's a sweet natured man with a gentle demeanor,
to please his human, you wouldn't get a dog keener,

We don't know much about him, as he came in as a stray,
But his lovely nature, he's happy to display,

If you're looking for a dog as a family pet,
you couldn't get one better than this boy I bet :-)

If you're keen to meet this beautiful young man,
please give us a call, we can make an adoption plan.

Please call the Animal Management team on (06)349-0001

This handsome guy has now gone home 💕

Who has lost this beautiful, camera-shy guy?
Looks to be a working dog but roaming on the sly! 😉

Must have been a girlie on heat, 😍
that took him away from his regular beat,

If he's yours, then please let us know,
let's get him out of the pound- home he can go.

Found in Whanganui East.

Stormi is going on trial 😊 thanks to everyone who enquired 🥰

Who wants to adopt a big cuddle hogger?
she's more of a couch Potatoe than an athletic jogger 🤣

Stormi is a large mastiff x that just wants a loving new home,
somewhere she can call her own,

Being an older dog, she's a cuddly, quiet lady,
she just wants to lie in the sun, or somewhere shady,

If you think you'd like to adopt Stormi,
Call council and contact me 🙂

Please call the Animal Management team on (06)349-0001

Stormi is in Whanganui
