If you find a stray animal, you should take the animal to the Glenfield Road Animal Shelter during office hours or a Vet. This ensures the best effort can be made to determine the pet's ownership details in the shortest possible time by scanning for a microchip.
In addition, the Shelter offers a secure location for an animal that is often distressed. In most cases, the Shelter is the first place concerned pet owners will contact if they have lost a pet, again reducing any time in reuniting pets with their owners.
If you notify Council that you have a stray animal secured on your property, a Ranger will come and collect the animal and take it to the Animal Shelter.
The permanent identification and lifetime registration system, which came into effect on 1 July 1999, greatly assists authorities in returning lost and injured animals to their owners. For more information, visit our Animal Registration page.
