Dog adoption in NZ
IF you are looking to adopt a dog and you live in New Zealand two of the SPCA websites that may help you are the following:

If you have a local council where you live it may be even better to see if there are any suitable dogs for you in the city pound as often the council does not keep a dog for more than a few days before disposing of it.
