Wandering or Stray Dogs

Wandering or Stray Dogs

This simple action can prevent your furry friend from wandering off, reducing the risk of dog attacks and ensuring the utmost safety for our vibrant community.

In order to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all, we ask that you keep your dogs on a leash in all public places. This simple act can prevent your dog from wandering, reducing the risk of dog attacks and ensuring the safety of our community.

Let's say you encounter a wandering or stray dog. What should you do? We encourage you to promptly contact our dedicated City rangers. Provide them with a detailed description of the dog and the location where it was last seen. Rest assured, a ranger will swiftly respond to secure the dog, ensuring its safety and that of the community.

As dog owners, we have a crucial role to play in reducing the incidence of wandering dogs. How can we do this? By taking a few simple steps:

Secure Your Property: Check your fences and gates regularly to ensure they are secure. This will prevent your dog from accidentally wandering off and getting lost.

  • Register Your Dog: All dogs should be registered as per local regulations. This helps authorities quickly identify and return lost dogs to their owners.
  • Wear ID: Ensure your dog is always wearing an identification tag. This small step can make a big difference if your pet ever goes astray.

By following these guidelines, we can all contribute to making Australia's destinations safe and enjoyable for everyone – two-legged and four-legged travellers alike! So, let's embark on this journey of responsible pet ownership together, creating unforgettable memories in our beautiful country.
