Bark and Brew - Meet the Animal Control team

Join us for Bark and Brew, a relaxed drop-in session where you can pop in, enjoy a cuppa, and chat with our Animal Control team.

There’s no formal agenda and no need to book. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions about dog ownership and registration, how animal control works in the district, what the Dog Policy and Dog Bylaw review means for you — or any other questions you might have.

It’s a great time for dog owners to come along, with the session happening during the Dog Policy and Dog Bylaw review, after Dogs in Togs, and ahead of dog registration renewals due before 31 July.

We held Bark and Brew in Matamata last year and had great conversations with community members who shared their stories, concerns, and experiences.

We’re looking forward to doing it again in Te Aroha and continuing those conversations.  We look forward to seeing you there!
