City kennels open again

The public is again able to adopt dogs at Waitakere Animal Welfare Centre.

Last week, extra strict hygiene rules were imposed at the City’s kennels to deal with several strains of parvovirus.

The spell of hot weather caused an increase in the incidence of parvovirus in the City’s wandering dog population.

Staff are closely monitoring incoming dogs and puppies for evidence of parvovirus.
