View lost and adoptable animals to check if your pet has been impounded in one of our animal shelters.
You will need to bring your photo ID to collect an impounded animal.
We will hold all dogs at a shelter for seven full days, giving you a chance to come and claim your dog.
You or someone you nominate can visit the shelter during this seven-day period to claim your impounded dog.
After the seven days have passed, the dog will become our property.
We will run behavioural tests and decide whether to put the dog up for adoption, or put it to sleep if it is not suitable for adoption.
You can pay by debit, Visa or MasterCard at the shelter.
A card payment fee of 0.67 per cent will apply for credit and debit card payments.
Fees are subject to change. Contact the shelter directly for an accurate quote.
