RECORD MONTH OF DOG ADOPTIONS AT THE TAUPŌ POUND
WHEN IT COMES to getting animals adopted, the team at the Taupō Pound is like a dog with a bone.
In September, new homes were found for 27 dogs, almost a dog a day and a new record for a single month at the Taupō Pound.
Pound keeper Taylor Hori says another 14 dogs have been adopted in the first 10 days of October.
“We’re doing really well, we’re pleased with those results,” he says.
“Usually when we have high numbers like that, it means we’ve been really busy, so it can be stressful but knowing that many dogs have new homes makes it all worth it.”
While the high adoption numbers are positive, he says the need for rehoming would be reduced if people took responsibility for their dogs and got them desexed.
