Whanganui Adopt a Dog

UPDATE: Yay, Duke has been reunited with his owner 🥰

Does this lovely dog belong to you?
if it does, contact the pound, is what you should do,

We'd love to reunite with the owner if we can,
because that's always the best kinda plan!!

Our crystal ball is currently out of action,
and with no microchip, it's causing a little frustration,

So please, if you know this beautiful dog,
call our friendly team, so a reunite we can log :-)

Another dog that's lost its way,
picked up in Whanganui east as a stray,

We're sure she must belong to someone,
but as for a tag or microchip, she has none :-(

Please come and collect her from the pound,
all our fingers crossed, her owner can be found 🤞🤞

We're open here between 11-1,
she'd rather be home- it's much more fun.

UPDATE: Goat is now home :-)

Your backyard is empty, you’re missing a goat,
One with long horns and a 2 tone brown coat,

Well, don’t panic, no need to worry,
It hasn’t been stolen to make a goat curry,

The escape artist- from its tether, itself it freed,
And wandered off in search of a feed,

But luckily has ended up here, in the pound,
So your goat ( rest assured), is safe & sound 😊

With the goats owners, we need to connect,
Please give us a call to come and collect 👍

Found in Gonville, Whanganui

Something is missing, you're not sure what,
but then you realise, it's your dog you forgot....

Well, worry not, as he's safe here with us,
please came and collect him, he can't go home on the bus!

He's desperate to go home, which we totally get,
he's well looked after, so he must be somebodies pet,

So, if your home is empty, and you've just realised why,
then please give us a call, to collect this handsome guy.

UPDATE: we have so many applications for Maisy, we’re not taking any more. Thanks to everyone who has applied, we will endeavour to get back to you in time 🥰

This beautiful girl, her name is Maisy,
she's a lovely dog and pretty as a daisy 🌼,

She's a Springer spaniel and is 8 years old,
A new owner, she'd love... someone with a heart of gold,

She'd love to keep you company and sleep on your bed,
long walks on the beach, then somewhere safe, to rest her head,

A quieter life is what she'd love,
someone who can provide all of the above,

Her vet work will be done, as all our rescue dogs do,
so, her new life can begin, maybe that's with you?

If you think Maisy would be a good fit,
then an online application, you should submit,

Or give us a call here at the pound,
as we're hoping a new owner, can soon be found 🥰
