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.
