Reclaiming your pet

If your pet is in the Animal Management Facility please call Ranger Services on 9394 5000. 

Before an animal can be released from the Animal Management Facility:

• it must be registered

• it must be microchipped. Microchipping is currently conducted at a vet offsite, owners need to allow additional time after the pound release to follow the Ranger to the City's chosen vet clinic for implantation

• payment of applicable fees is required. Payment can be made via EFTPOS or cash

• proof of animal ownership and photo identification is required. Only the owner of the pet can collect the animal, if you want someone to collect on your behalf, you will need to arrange this with Ranger Services prior to collection 

When you are collecting your animal please remember to bring a lead or animal carrier with you.
