Keep an eye out and report these wandering dogs
I've spotted two dogs wandering around 88 & 90 Titirangi Road multiple times over the past week or so. I'm unsure if they belong to anyone, if they've been abandoned, or are fully strays. I've reported them to Animal Control both on the 15th and 18th, but they've disappeared down a drive (possibly into bushes or some other hiding place that can't be seen from the road) before I was able to take photos and before AC arrived.
Description:
Adult - unsure of sex. Medium/Large, with reddish brown fur and a white throat. Slightly blocky head, may be a bully breed mix, but it's hard to tell from a distance. Ribs are clearly visible, even from across the street. Definitely hungry, if not malnourished. Last seen sniffing around the wheelie bins around 88 & 90 Titirangi Road, then disappearing down 90 Titirangi's driveway.
Puppy - unsure of age or sex. Light, dusty brown and white. Definitely underfed. Not at all chubby, like a puppy should be, its ribs are starkly visible from across the road. Interested in humans, so likely has spent at least a little time around them. Very nearly tried to cross the road to investigate me when I made eye contact (thank goodness it didn't!) Clearly related to the adult dog.
Neither have a collar on. I'm unsure of whether they're friendly or aggressive so please don't approach them.
If spotted, please contact Animal Control and reference 8101334178. If possible, try to stay nearby until AC arrives to help direct them and/or take photos to send to Animal Control for better identification. There may be other puppies wherever their hiding place is, so if you spot any others that don't match the description above please make sure AC knows about them, too.
These dogs need help and if/when caught by AC will likely be turned over to the SPCA.
