Official Information Request - Pound Dog Rehoming

Subject: Information request - Pound dog rehoming

I refer to your email of 9 July 2020 under LGOIMA requesting information on whether Council rehomes any dogs to institutes or individuals to be used in research testing or teaching purposes.

Rotorua Lakes Council does not and has not rehomed dogs to these types of institutes of individuals.

Our Animal Control team take great pride in ensuring that to the best of Council's ability, re-homed dogs from our pound go to safe, loving homes.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Complaints can be sent by email to info@ombudsman.parliament.nz, by fax to (04) 471 2254, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.

Publication of responses to LGOIMA requests

Please note: Our LGOIMA responses may be published on the Rotorua Lakes Council website after they have been responded to, with requesters' personal details withheld. If you have any concerns about this please contact the Council on info@rotorualc.nz .
