What's new, puppy dog?

30 March 2026

Dogs’ lives change and so do ours. When something changes for your dog, it’s important to let Council know so our records stay up to date.

Have they moved to a new address?

Has your contact information changed?

Are they now living with a different family?

Or has your much-loved mate passed away?

Updates to dog registration details must be provided in writing, we’ve got forms on our website to make that process easier for you. Visit: Dog Registration | Tararua District Council

Please get in touch to let us know what’s new. We’ll update your dog’s registration details for you - quick, easy, done. Keeping details current helps keep dogs safe and saves headaches if your pup ever goes walkabout.

Council is happy to answer any questions you may have regarding Animal Control. You can get in touch with the Council team by emailing us on info@tararuadc.govt.nz or phoning 06 374 4080 or 06 376 0110.
