Lost, Found and Adoptable Dogs
If you have lost your dog or found a dog, please call us on 07 868 0200.
If your dog has been microchipped, we will have your details on file and will call you if our officers have picked up your dog. Registered dogs wearing their tag can be reunited with their owner, quickly, sometimes without the need for the dog to go to the pound. This saves money and stress for the owner, the dog and for us.
All dogs unclaimed after 7 days may be offered up for adoption or may be euthanised if they are not considered suitable for re-homing. Dogs are temperament tested so that suitable dogs are available for adoption.
If you're interested in adopting a dog from TCDC's pound, please complete a Dog Adoption Application. Once your application has been reviewed, we will be in touch with you to discuss further.

Adoptions
We currently have 5 dogs available for adoption.
Razor
The below dog is a male Greyhound-cross. Razor is a happy and affectionate boy, who loves pats and cuddles. He loves being around people and while he will require some training, will make a great companion.
Kotahu & Chocolate
The two dogs pictured below are both female Staffie-cross and about 6-months-old. They are very sweet natured pups, love life and lots of cuddles. Being only pups, these girls will need some training (these girls do not need to be rehomed together).
Mara
The below dog is a female Staffy-cross, about 3 years old. Mara is a very sweet and happy girl who loves being around people. She would make a wonderful family dog or companion.
Roxy
The below dog is a female, labrador-cross, approximately 1 year old. Roxy is a happy, friendly and playful dog and would make a great additional to most households.
If you're interested in adopting a dog from TCDC's pound, please complete a Dog Adoption Application. If you have any questions, please phone us on 07 868 0200.
Once your interest is known, a Dog Control Officer will be in contact with you to discuss the adoption and carry out the appropriate checks, which may include a visit to your property.
Please note that some people may not be acceptable for adoptions and that we reserve the right to make decisions on the most suitable homes for any dogs available for adoption.
If your adoption is successful, you will be required to register and microchip the dog prior to taking it home.
