Lost & Found Dogs
We understand the special bond people share with their pets and try our best to reunite lost dogs and their owners.
When the Council finds a lost dog and is unable to locate or contact the owner, the dog is taken to the Animal Welfare League, who provide pound facilities for lost dogs.
If you have lost your dog(s)
Step 1:
- to determine if your dog has been collected by Council, visit: AWL - Council Found Pets
- if your dog is listed on the Animal Welfare League website, contact the Council on 08 8366 4555 immediately and we will discuss the steps required to collect your dog(s)
Step 2
- if your dog is not listed on AWL - Council Found Pets, contact the Council on 08 8366 4555 to make a lost dog report.
