Lost & Found Animals

It would be helpful if a full description is given to Council with microchip number. Photographs can also be emailed to Council to assist the Animal Control Officer in identifying it.
Council has no jurisdiction outside the Ryde Local Government Area area to remove or pick up dogs, regardless of whether they are registered in Ryde or not.
Sick or injured dogs, in public places only, will be removed by Council and taken to a local vet.
Council will investigate dog attacks and will seize stray dogs from either public or private property.
Council will impound stray cats, only if the cat is secured in a cage or box and the owner of the cat is unknown.

Customers who no longer want their cat may have the cat removed by Council. There is no fee or charge for this service, however proof of ownership is required. Cats must be securely contained in a box or basket that provides adequate ventilation. A surrender form must be completed at the time of removal.
Customers who no longer want their dog may have the dog removed by Council. A surrender form must be completed at the time of removal. There is no fee for this service, however proof of ownership is required.
