Lost and impounded pets

Missing pets

If your pet is missing, you can report between 9:00 am and 4pm, Monday to Friday by calling our Customer Service Centre on (08) 9377 8000.

Check our list of impounded animals below to see stray animals found in the Town.

Wandering dogs

It is your responsibility to make sure your dog does not wander from your property. Your property must have fences and gates that ensure your dog cannot leave unless secured on a leash by someone who can control them.

If your dog escapes your property and is found wandering, you may be fined $200.

Impounded animals

If a registered and microchipped animal is impounded, we will notify the owner in writing and hold the animal for a minimum of 7 days at the City of South Perth Animal Care Facility.

If the animal has no identification, it will be held for a minimum of 72 hours. After 72 hours, the animal will be rehomed if suitable.

The Animal Care Facility is a safe environment, where animals are fed and kept comfortable with heating, cooling, clean linen and access to exercise areas.

Releasing an impounded animal

You will need to pay a fee to release an impounded pet.

All impounded pets must be registered or microchipped before they can be released.

If your pet is not registered or microchipped, you will need to pay registration fees and microchipping charges in full before they can be released.

No discounts or payment plans are available.
