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:

  • Report it missing to this number 07 838 6632 (available 24/7)
  • Check if it has been received at the Animal Education and Control Kennel 07 838 6664 (12.30pm - 4.30pm 7 days a week)

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.

Make sure your contact details are up to date

Found dogs

If you find a dog, please call so we can arrange a time to pick up the dog.

If you’d prefer to drop the dog off, our dog kennel is open 12:30pm – 4.30pm daily.

217 Ellis St, Frankton

We’ll contact the owner (if known) or add the dog to our Found Dogs Register below.

Unclaimed dogs
