Dog de-sexing

 

We recommend that dogs be desexed if they are not intended for breeding. Dogs that are de-sexed are more sociable (and less aggressive), don’t wander/roam, are healthier and live longer.

Lots of healthy animals in New Zealand are euthanised each year due to the over population. In many cases, animals are bred by accident.

Funding to desex your dog may be available from either DC Rescue Dogs or Hurrah Desexy Revolution.
