Looking to adopt a dog in Wellington? Every dog on this page is listed by a rescue serving the Wellington area, so you can see what is genuinely available locally without checking each rescue's site one by one. Each profile links straight back to the rescue that has them.
Browse adoptable dogs by breed. Each breed page shows what is available in Wellington now, plus what the breed costs to adopt, the health to plan for and the local law.
There are 21 adoptable rescue dogs listed in Wellington right now. Rescue numbers move quickly as animals are adopted, so the count changes between visits.
Every dog on this page comes from SPCA New Zealand. Each listing links straight to that rescue's own page, where the application is handled.
No. LocalPetFinder is a discovery platform, not a rescue. We bring listings together in one place so you do not have to check each rescue's website separately. Applications, approvals and adoption decisions are handled entirely by the rescue.
No. LocalPetFinder is free. Adoption fees are set by the rescue and are paid to them directly, not to us.
That is up to the rescue. Some rehome only within their local area, others will consider adopters further afield. The rescue's own listing page states their policy — check it before applying.
