What to do if you have a complaint about a dog wandering in NZ
If you have a complaint about a dog wandering in NZ, there are a few things you can do.
First, you can try to talk to the owner of the dog. If the owner is present, let them know that you have a complaint and ask them to take care of the situation. If the owner is not present, you can try to find a way to contact them (e.g., through a neighbor or by looking up their contact information online).
If you are not able to resolve the issue with the owner, you can contact your local animal control. Animal control can investigate the situation and, if necessary, take action to remove the dog from the premises.
You can also file a complaint with the SPCA. The SPCA can investigate the situation and, if necessary, take action to remove the dog from the premises.
Finally, you can contact the police. The police can investigate the situation and, if necessary, take action to remove the dog from the premises.
In summary, if you have a complaint about a dog wandering in NZ, you can try to resolve the issue with the owner, contact animal control, contact the SPCA, or contact the police.
How do I contact animal control? I don’t want to waste the police’s time about roaming/threatening dogs. And the SPCA are not effective – they’ve already been to this household previously to inspect various dogs. I’ve emailed the city council – they have ‘closed the case’ immediately due to staff shortages. The only advice I’ve been given is to video the roaming dogs. Who belong to very antisocial, threatening people – who’s family member have been convicted for dog fighting. The address is 75 Selbourne St, Grey Lynn. They have numerous dogs. None are restrained. There are no fences. Some are aggressive and bite. All of them are wandering the neighborhood. Is there any way to resolve this – which would be for them to keep their dogs ON their property?
