Lost pets
The animals below are currently at the pound. If you believe one of these animals is your pet, click the "This could be my pet" button for instructions on how to claim your pet.
If your pet's not listed below
Many members of the public will take care of a pet they find wandering while looking for the owner. If your pet isn't listed below you can try:
- Lost and found pet pages on Facebook
- Ringing nearby vets
- Contacting shelters (RSPCA, YAPS)
Please note, Council does not adopt pets from our pound. If you are looking for a new furry family member get in touch with one of the rehoming organisations that work in our region.
