Prevention

We see an alarming amount of animals pass through our shelters each year. Many are reunited with their owners and others are found new homes. Losing a pet is distressing to everyone involved, so it's vital you do all you can to avoid them getting lost.

There are several things you can do to reduce the risk of losing your pet:

  1. Make sure your pet is protected within your property at all times with secure fencing around the boundary of your property, locked gates and plenty of shelter to avoid the weather.
  2. The task of reuniting pets with their owners is always made easier if the pet has proper identification. Responsible pet owners should ensure that their cat or dog is microchipped, properly tagged, and all dogs are registered with their local Council.
