Thinking of owning a dog or do you have one already? Did you know that all dogs from the age of three months need to be registered?
Your dog’s registration helps fund important services, including monitoring and enforcing the Dog Control Act and Bylaw, investigating complaints (such as attacks, rushing incidents, barking nuisances, and roaming dogs), supporting the Lower Hutt pound facility, patrolling public spaces, and providing education, signage, and community safety initiatives.
As dog registration time approaches, we want to get a head start in helping our community prepare. It’s important that residents are ready for the registration process, which includes ensuring their details are up to date, knowing when the registration is due, and understanding the various payment options available.
We encourage our community to update their details now! By doing so, they can avoid any last-minute issues when registration time arrives. We also know that times can be challenging, and we’re here to help. We also hope to educate the community on payment options and responsible dog ownership.
If you would like assistance in planning how to pay their registration fees before they’re due, they can reach out to the Animal Management team.
