Summary
Christchurch’s dog shelter celebrates a record-breaking year, with 70 dogs adopted and 35 rescued — a 10% jump thanks to social media and foot traffic. They prioritize matching dogs with perfect homes, sometimes holding them longer for training. Meet Sarge, a once-rough stray rottweiler mix who, after dedicated rehab, found his forever family with Adam — who hand-fed him to build trust. Now, Sarge’s a joyful ball-chaser and bubble-lover. Adam warns adoption is a big commitment but deeply rewarding — and urges training support when needed. Shelter staff are thrilled to see dogs thrive, and they’re passionate about adoption over buying, reminding everyone: a loving home is always the best choice.
