饲养宠物
Kāinga Ora是对宠物友好的房东。宠物可以是好伙伴,领养宠物(或者继续饲养已有的宠物)有益于我们的身心健康。
在Kāinga Ora住房中养宠物
我们都想成为最好的宠物主人。这些表格有助于此,并且提供有关在家中饲养动物的重要信息。
什么算是宠物?
- 狗
- 猫
- 作为宠物饲养的牲畜(牛、绵羊、马、猪、山羊)
- 鸟、鱼和小动物
养宠物有什么条件吗?
有些法律适用于新西兰所有饲养宠物的人士。您所在地的地方议会会有相关规定;如果您住在小区或公寓中,可能会有饲养宠物(包括猫)的具体规定。我们愿意随时帮助您了解哪些规则适用于您。
如果您想养宠物,该怎么办
请拨打0800 801 601,跟我们聊一聊您的宠物,让我们能够了解有关情况。
我们要知道您是否已经拥有或想要养狗、猫或家畜,这一点很重要。您与我们签订的租赁协议中有相关内容,我们了解到的情况可以帮助:
- 确保您不会被罚款。我们将查看您所在地的地方议会的规定,或者物业管理部关于宠物的规定(如果您住在公寓或小区)
- 在我们的工作人员和承包商前去您那儿时告诉他们您有宠物
- 确保您的租赁协议反映了最新情况。有些较旧的协议不允许养狗,因此我们可以为您更新这类协议,以确保您不违反协议。
如果您的宠物是狗或家畜,您可能还会被要求签署一张宠物信息表,并承诺做一位合格的宠物主人。
批准
如果都没有问题了,我们会通知您,您可以在Kāinga Ora的住房中饲养宠物。您所需要做的就是享受它们的陪伴、照顾它们并确保它们不会给您的邻居和社区带来任何问题。
如果您没有收到我们的回复,请致电我们的客户支持中心 0800 801 601查询进展。
如果我们不能批准
有时我们可能不能允许在您住房中饲养宠物。如果发生这种情况,我们会通知您;如果您认为我们的决定不公平,可以随时要求我们重新审查。
确保我们到访时的安全
如果您养了狗,我们会要求您在Kāinga Ora团队的工作人员或承包商到访时管好它们。为了在到访期间管好您的狗,您可以:
- 将它们关到车里,锁好车门。务必开一点儿车窗为它们透气,留下一碗水。
- 用牵狗绳将狗拴住,并交给可靠的人牵管。
- 将狗拴在一个牢固、不会松动或折断的地方。栅栏柱、狗圈或树干都可以,但门把手、地上的木桩或可以移动的东西就不合适了。
- 将它们关到可上锁的房间/车库/工具棚里,并将其拴在固定的家具上。请记住留一碗水给它们;还要告诉孩子,以防他们打开门并松开牵狗绳。
- 您也可以趁我们的工作人员在您家中时牵着狗出去散步。
为什么我需要这样做?
狗的天性就是保护主人一家。这意味着有些狗可能极具领地意识,我们的工作人员和承包商的到访会使它们不快。如果狗没有被看管住,我们的工作人员不会进入任何房屋,以确保他们的安全。在我们到访期间将您的狗看管好,可以让我们更轻松地开展工作,确保您的住房保持温暖、干燥和安全。

Are there any conditions to having a pet?
There are laws that apply to everyone in New Zealand who keeps pets. Your local council will have by-laws (including a list of dog breeds that you are not allowed to own), and if you live in a complex or apartment there may be specific rules for keeping pets (including cats).
We’re always happy to help you find out what rules apply for you.
- Dogs
- Cats
- Livestock (cows, sheep, horse, pigs, goats) that are kept as pets
- Birds, fish and small animals
We will check that your home and pet are suitable, and if everything is okay, we may say yes to you having a pet. Then all you need to do is look after them properly, make sure they don’t cause any issues to your neighbours and enjoy their company.
Sometimes we may not be able to allow pets in your home. This may be because your property is unsuitable (e.g. fencing or space issues), or the pet is considered dangerous. If that happens, we will let you know and you can always ask us to review our decision if you think it is unfair.
Like any other pet owner in New Zealand, you are responsible for keeping your pet secure, and for its health and wellbeing. Some of the things you will need to provide for your pet include:
- Food
- Water
- Exercise
- Vet bills
- Microchipping
- Vaccinations
- Desexing
- Registration
- Worming and flea treatments
If you have a dog, we’ll ask you to secure it for any visits from Kāinga Ora team members or contractors. To secure your dog during a visit, you can:
- Keep it in your vehicle and lock the doors. Make sure you wind the window down enough so your dog has fresh air and leave it a bowl of water.
- Keep your dog on a leash and under the control of a responsible person.
- Leash it with something sturdy, that won’t loosen or break. A fence post, dog run or a tree trunk could work, but doorknobs, stakes in the ground or things that can be moved are unsuitable.
- Keep it in a lockable room/garage/shed and secure your dog with a lead to a piece of furniture that will not move. Remember to make sure it has a water bowl, and let your kids know so they do not unlock the door and take the dog off the lead.
- Take your dog for a walk on a leash while our staff are at your home.

Why do I need to do this?
Our dogs want to protect us and our families. That means some can be very territorial and may not like it when people, staff and contractors visit.
To keep our people safe, they won’t come onto any property or into a home if a dog is not secure. Keeping your dog secure while we visit makes it easier for us to ensure your home stays warm, dry and safe.
Summer - Keep your pets cool
Did you know pets feel the heat even more than we do? Here are six tips to keep your fur babies safe.
- Water and shade - Keep water bowls fresh and filled and make sure there’s plenty of shade for your pets throughout the day – even as the sun moves.
- Cooler walks - Exercise your dog when it’s cooler either in the morning or evening.
- Too hot to trot - If the pavement or sand is too hot for your bare feet, then it’s too hot for your pet.
- Pets get sunburnt too - Pets with lighter skin and hair are most at risk, and you can protect them by rubbing pet-safe sunscreen on their noses, ears and bellies.
- Hot cars can kill - Never leave your pet unattended in your car. You could face a $300 fine. If you find a dog locked in a car in distress, call the Police or your local SPCA immediately.
- Get a hair cut - Trimming your pet’s coat can help keep them cool, but their fur also protects them from sunburn so don’t shave it completely.
Winter - Look after your pets as the chill kicks in
We all like to wrap up warmly and keep cosy as cold and wet weather sets in, and our pets are just like us. You’ll have happy, healthy pets over winter with these top tips:
- Shelter and warmth - If you’re feeling cold, it’s likely your pets are too. Keep them safe from bad weather by bringing them indoors when you can. If your pet lives outdoors, make sure they have access to shelter that is warm, well-insulated, waterproof and windproof.
- Food and water - Animals are less likely to go outside in the cold, so using toys and puzzle feeders at meal times can be great for their mental and physical health. It’s also a good idea to check outdoor water bowls each day to make sure they haven’t frozen over, or to break up any ice if they have.
- Exercise safely - Our pups love their walks, even when it’s cold or rainy. Try to keep heading out each day to keep them healthy and their minds stimulated. Reflective leads and harnesses make pets easier to keep an eye on during dark mornings or evenings.
- Household emergency plans - must account for all members of the whānau, and this includes your animals.
If you have concerns about a pet
If a pet is being mistreated or you are concerned about the welfare of a pet, contact the SPCA(external link).
If a dog is wandering the street, barking loudly all day, creating a nuisance or attacks someone, contact the local council Dog Control unit.
