Lost animals

If your pet is missing, please go to the Animal Management Centre to look for them. You can also look on our Impounded animals page for your animal. We display photos of all impounded animals.

It is important to go to the Animal Management Centre to look for your animal because:

• your animal may have lost its collar and registration tag
• we may not be able to read the microchip.

We check all animals brought to the Animal Management Centre for a registration tag and a microchip, and we try to contact the owner.

If you are going to the Animal Management Centre to look for your animal or to collect an animal, the following safety rules apply:

• you must wear enclosed footwear in the kennel area (thongs are not acceptable)
• only one person can go into the kennel area to identify their animal
• children are not able to go into the kennel area for their own safety (please avoid bringing children)
• please bring a lead for your dog or a suitable cage to transport cats and other animals.

You can also check with the RSPCA, Animal Welfare League, other local councils or a local vet clinic for your missing animal.

While all efforts are made to identify each animal, we may be unable to confirm it is your animal from a description and sometimes determining the sex of the pet can be difficult. This is why it is important for you to come in to look for your pet.

We will not be liable for any claim, demand, action, loss or damage of any kind arising out of the incorrect description of any animal kept at the Animal Management Centre. We do not accept any responsibility for matters arising from the use of the information on this site.

Found animals

If you have found a cat or dog, please take it to our Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston.

If you can’t take the animal to the Animal Management Centre, please call us during business hours on 07 3412 3412 to arrange collection.

It is important to report found animals to us because:

• the owner may be looking for it at the Animal Management Centre
• the animal may be wearing a registration tag and we can contact its owner
• we can scan for a microchip to identify its owner.

After-hours holding pens

Due to ongoing construction, the after-hours animal holding pens located at the Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston are currently out of order and unavailable for use.

We encourage people who find an animal to contact Council on 3412 3412 to arrange collection, or bring the animal to the Animal Management Centre directly during business hours.

Council cannot collect found animals outside of business hours. Our afterhours service responds to emergencies only.

All animals impounded at the Animal Management Centre are checked for registration tags and microchips. We also add the animal’s photo to our Impounded animals webpage.

We do not accept sick or injured animals or wildlife. If you find sick or injured animals or wildlife, please see Sick or injured wildlife for more information.

If you are a Logan resident and you are wanting to surrender your pet, please contact our team on 3412 3412 to make an appointment.
