If we find your pet with any type of identification and/or registration tag, you will be contacted by a Council Officer from the Animal Pound Facilities.
Pets often lose their collar/tag, so it is important to have your pet microchipped too. Remember to advise Council and the microchip registry if your contact details change so they can update your records.

All impounded animals are held at one of Council's Animal Pound Facilties for a minimum of 72 hours, however after this time animals may be rehomed or euthanised. A register of the animals that have entered Council's Animal Pound Facilities is below.
What happens - If your pet becomes lost
While all care is taken to update this register with all of the animals that have been impounded, however if you are looking for a missing animal you should also contact your nearest Animal Pound Facility during opening hours. Please note members of the public are required to wear fully enclosed shoes when visiting the Animal Pound Facilities, or entry will not be permitted.
If you are still unable to find your animal we suggest you visit the Pet Search website which is a national register for people who have lost or found pets.
