Any lost pets must initially be brought to a local Council Pound for a microchip scan and possibly returned to their owner. In case an owner can\u2019t be reached or if there\u2019s no microchip, the animal should be taken to the Pound. Once at the Pound, dogs or cats have a chance to be claimed. If they aren\u2019t claimed within the set time (14 days for pets with ID and 7 days for those without), they can be given to a local Rescue organization or adopted by a member of the public.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What to do if you lose your cat or dog?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#91288F” toggle_icon=”;||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”20px” open_toggle_icon=”:||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”20px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||14px|||” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(145,40,143,0.24)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If your pet goes missing, start your search at home by checking in unexpected places where your pet might hide. Look around your property, behind furniture, in the garage, and even in the garden. Next, explore your local streets and reach out to your neighbors for assistance. Ensure your pet wears a properly fitting collar with an ID tag containing your current contact information to aid in their return. Contact local vets, the Council\/Pound, and animal rescue organizations, like NRAS at\u00a0<\/span>6681 1860<\/a>\u00a0and ARRG at\u00a0<\/span>6622 1881<\/a>. Spread the word by doing a widespread letterbox drop and posting information on community noticeboards, shops, supermarkets, beach tracks, and social media. Above all, make sure your pet is microchipped and keep your details up to date with your local council in case of any address or contact changes.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What to do if you need to re-home your cat or dog?” open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#91288F” toggle_icon=”;||divi||400″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”20px” open_toggle_icon=”:||divi||400″ open_use_icon_font_size=”on” open_icon_font_size=”20px” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||30px|||” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(145,40,143,0.24)” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWelcome to<\/h2>\n
