Animal Control Services in your Community...
Welcome to the Animal Control Services Website! We currently service these Council areas:
Promoting Responsible Dog Ownership
Dog ownership is about caring for a dog and ensuring that it
is socially acceptable. Owning a dog brings many rewards, but also
responsibilities in which dog owners need to be educated about.
A careful balance of education and enforcement is necessary to ensure the citizens and dogs in your city live safely and harmoniously together.
Please read or download our Educational Resources for some tips and advice on staying safe around dogs and looking after your family pet!
