Best spots for dogs in New Zealand

"I’m not in the market for a dog at the moment but I love following the many success stories on Adopt A Dog’s Happy Tails blog and Facebook page. The not-for-profit group rescue dogs from death row at the local pound providing these precious pooches with tender loving care in foster homes until their forever home comes along so if you’re thinking of getting a dog give them a thought."

"Online pet sitting and dog walking service where you can choose who you want to mind your beloved fur baby. Everything is transparent – all information, prices, services and ratings are all online so you know exactly what you are getting. Dog lovers recommend this site."

"Your fur baby can get right down to business and let loose in this wild country. Poochie woochie’s locked up urban imagination will be unleashed hunting on the grassy savannah plains, fighting through bush, swimming in the game-infested waters of nearby Ngaruroro River or the more gentile Raupere Stream. Alternately they can strut sedately down rural paths with a new-found stick teasing their doggy pals. You know this park has the official doggy stamp of approval when dog waste bag dispensers are available."
