Lost Dogs
Dog owners must microchip and register their dogs so they can be quickly identified and returned to their owners.
If you’ve lost your dog, please call Animal Education and Control on:
- 07 838 6632 (available 24/7)
We’ll add the name and description of your dog to our Lost Dog Book to reunite you both more quickly.
You can also contact your neighbours, make flyers, and post messages on local community noticeboards.
Found dogs
If you find a dog, please call so we can arrange a time to pick up the dog.
- 07 838 6632 (available 24/7)
If you’d prefer to drop the dog off, our dog kennel is open 12:30pm – 4.30pm daily.
We’ll contact the owner (if known) or add the dog to our Found Dogs Register.
Unclaimed dogs
Dogs that are unclaimed after seven days become the property of Hamilton City Council and can be adopted out or put down.
Animal Education and Control officers have the right to seize and impound any wandering dog. The dog owner must pay the impounding costs before a dog can be released.
