Lost pets

If you have lost your pet, there are a number of steps you can take to try to locate your animal:
  • contact the City on 9474 0777 to check if someone has found your pet, or report your animal as lost via the request form below
  • contact neighbouring Councils to check if your animal has been picked up
  • check with your neighbours and the local neighbourhood, including places your pet regularly visits, such as the park
  • check the lost and found pet pages on Facebook as many members of the public will take care of a pet they find wandering while looking for the owner
  • check with any nearby animal shelters or veterinarians
  • check the microchip database to make sure your contact details are correct and up-to-date. Some databases can also flag your animal as lost
  • if you have moved recently, you may want to check your previous address as your animal may have returned there; and
  • keep looking for several weeks.  Sometimes people find animals and don't report to Council straight away.
