Lost or stray animals
It's an owner's responsibility to keep their pets safe and secure. However, we're here to help when things don't go to plan.
Please make sure their microchip details are up-to-date and your contact numbers are current. That way, we can reach you quickly if your pet is found.
Dogs
If your dog is missing or you have found a stray dog, please contact us on the number below. You can also take a stray dog to a vet.
We make every effort to contact the owner before we take a lost dog to the Dogs' Homes of Tasmania. This is possible through dog registration and microchipping.
