Dogs Currently For Adoption

Please Note:

We try to keep this as up to date as possible, however sometimes time constraints make that hard. If you have seen a dog on our Facebook page and they are not featured here as yet you are still able to fill out our online application form and we can assess.

Please ensure all applications are completed on this form, as we cannot conduct adoptions via Facebook, messenger or phone.

If you would like to check out our adoption criteria or FAQs, click HERE

All information on the dogs are accurate as at the time of application, however please be aware that as time goes on and learn more about them this could change, which will also mean what their ideal home looks like may change also. If you have applied you will be advised of this fact.

New Fee Structure from 1 April 2024

Due to rising costs to get our dogs ready for adoption we have had no choice but to raise our adoption fees. We have tiered this based on age. New fees are as follows;
$600 - 0-2 years 
$500 - 2-7 years 
$400 - 8+ years

Our longterm dogs will still have a $350 adoption fee

Please click the link below or adoptions@chaineddog.org.nz for an application pack. We do NOT accept applications via text, Facebook or phone. Please do not contact our foster parents or trainers directly. Our adoptions are run via the official application process, and if this is not followed it will deem your application null and void.

If you adopt through CDRRNZ, we provide a lifetime support system. If you need advice on food, behaviour, anything...we are here to help. We also have a Facebook Parents Group so you can connect with other wonderful people who make the decision to take one of our incredible dogs into their home.

Note Please: If you have applied to adopt in the last 6 months and your details have not changed, we do not require a new application to be filled in. Please email adoptions@chaineddog.org.nz and advise us you have previously applied, and what dog you would like to apply for.
