An Auckland dog adoption centre at Pukekohe is celebrating not only its first birthday, but a successful technique for better matching owners and dogs.
Getting on for 300 dogs have found new homes in the year it's been running.
The centre is using a walk-through system where potential owners can meet all the dogs available for adoption, not just one they've booked an appointment to see.
The Pukekohe Adoption Centre's manager, Carly Triska says the system gives staff an opportunity to talk about what dog's would be best suited to a potential new owner's lifestyle.
