Whanganui Adopt a Dog

13/02/2025

UPDATE; Owner found, thanks everyone !! :-)

This wee little foxie has been found,
currently waiting for its owners at the pound,

Dragging a chain, as you can see,
but somehow, he must have gotten free.....

Found in Puitki, roaming around,
Luckily secured, as it was main road bound.... :-(

Please call the Animal management team, if this is your pet,
Your dog is waiting... please come and collect :-)

This playful pup must have lost her way,
She looks well loved, I'd have to say,

Unfortunately, no microchip that we can scan,
So, to FB we turn, to find the owner if we can,

She's only a pup, probably 5 mths or there about,
as this is when their adult teeth start to sprout ;-)

so, if you're missing this gorgeous wee pup,
please come to the pound and pick her up!

Found on Carlton Ave, Whanganui

UPDATE; Owner has been found :-)

Not our normal doggy post, this one's a bit; "outta the hat"
has anyone lost a lovely, older, female cat?

We don't normally deal with, or hold cats,
but this one was apparently dumped at some flats,

If this is your cat, (she's quite thin and small),
then please don't hesitate to give us a call....

We have another scheduled power outage at the pound today, so if you need to pay to collect your dog, can you please do so at the main council office first :-)

Sorry for any inconvenience.

This is Echo, and she is so cute,
she has the looks with a cool personality to boot...

UPDATE: Echo has gone on trial :-)

Echo is looking for a very special new home,
someone to be there for her, so she won't be alone,

You see, Echo is special, in that she can't hear,
but that doesn't hold her back... it adds to her flair...

Dogs can learn sign language, it's how they learn best,
and Echo is already learning, she's been put through the test,

if you think you can offer Echo a great home,
then call us up, give us a phone :-)

Alternatively, you can apply online,
on the ph or online, either way for us is fine :-)

Echo is vaccinated, chipped and registered and will be desexed before adoption. She is currently in Tauranga but will be coming down to the Manawatu.

UPDATE: Gonzo has now found himself the best home ever!!!! Thanks everyone🥰

Who is keen to adopt this cool dude?
He's patiently waiting at the pound, which is where he can be viewed....

Poor Gonzo was surrendered just before Christmas, through no fault of his own,
He's a good boy with cats, kids and other dogs... a loving nature is all he has shown,

unfortunately, his previous owner's circumstances have changed,
So, a loving new home, now needs to be arranged,

Gonzo is now nearly 3 years old,
he's neutered, chipped, registered and vaccinated, so good as gold :-)

If, for this guy, in love you could fall,
then pick up the phone and give us a call :-)

Aran rescue have also donated Vaccines to help SPCA, so hopefully we can get as many dogs as possible in need, vaccinated :-)

In response to reports of parvo cases in the Whanganui region this summer, Whanganui SPCA is offering free parvo vaccinations for unvaccinated dogs owned by Whanganui residents.

The vaccination event will take place on Sunday, 12th January at the Whanganui SPCA. Please be patient as some wait times may apply.

A special thank you to Freda Sutherland Memorial Trust and First Vets for their support in making this possible.

UPDATE: This lovely lady has now been collected :-)

This gorgeous girl has got herself lost,
Too many roads, she must have crossed,

She looks well loved, so must be owned,
but we haven't been notified, no one has phoned :-(

she's super friendly and on heat :-(
I guess a boyfriend, she was hoping to meet......

We'll keep her safe, here at the pound,
until her owner can be found :-)

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

Found Makirikiri Valley Road, Whanganui.

This poor guy must be lost, as wandering, he was found,
he doesn't want to spend his Christmas in the pound 😞,

We're hoping his owner will see this post,
although he is safe here, and we're happy to be his Christmas host,

We have special treats for Christmas day,
For all the dogs that will have to stay...

But, he's better off going home,
We'd hate for him to feel unwanted and alone....

Found in Kaiwhaiki, Whanganui.

Hopefully this is the last of the power outages.
