A new purpose-built dog shelter is due to open in the Far North in May. Far North District Council’s $2.4 million facility near Kaikohe will house up to 10 dogs in the southern area. It features individual kennels, three quarantine kennels, a vet room, multiple exercise yards, secure dog drop-off areas, a food preparation room and offices for staff. The new facility will complement the council’s northern animal shelter in Kaitāia, which is currently used to secure all dogs impounded in the Far North.
