Based on New Plymouth District Council Dog Pound's listing, and in some cases inferred from Pania's description. Always confirm with them before deciding.
All adoption applications are handled directly by New Plymouth District Council Dog Pound. Contact them to arrange a meet-and-greet and start the adoption process.
Pania is a lovely girl with a gentle nature and a heart full of affection. While she can be a little reserved when meeting new people, it doesn't take long for her sweet personality to shine through. Once she feels comfortable, Pania is affectionate, loyal, and loves spending time with her people. Pania has a wonderfully laid-back, chillaxed temperament and is happiest enjoying life's simple pleasures. She would suit a variety of homes but would likely thrive in a calm, relaxed environment where she can settle in at her own pace and enjoy plenty of companionship. If you're looking for a sweet, easy-going companion to share your days with, Pania could be the perfect match.
If Pania isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
