Lost and Found Pets
What to do when your dog or cat is missing
Contact Council on 9847 6666, your local veterinarian and the pound on 4560 4644 to see if it has been taken there.
Impounded dogs and cats
When dogs and cats are impounded their microchip numbers are scanned and their owners are contacted as soon as possible so they can be reunited.
Sometimes owners cannot be contacted or an animal does not have a microchip. If the pet is microchipped it is kept for a minimum of 14 days. If the pet is not microchipped it is kept for a minimum of seven days. After this time the pet, if suitable, may become available to be rehomed.
What to do if you find a lost dog
Contact Council on 9847 6666 or take it to your local veterinarian. The vet or Council will then contact the owner.
What to do if you find a lost cat

A rescue animal may be your purr-fect pet-match!
The Hawkesbury Animal Shelter is brimming with happy, healthy pets just waiting for you to take them home.
When you adopt your pet from the Shelter you are adopting an animal which has been health checked, desexed, vaccinated and often, wormed and treated for fleas. They have also been assessed for rehoming.
If you think a rescue dog or cat is for you, please visit the Hawkesbury Animal Shelter’s gallery to view the animals they have available for you to adopt.
