What if my Dog is NOT on the Impound List

If your dog is not in the impound listing please contact the Council on (08) 8527 0200 to report your dog missing, so we can confirm whether we have it impounded or not, as it may not appear online yet. If the dog has not been impounded by Council we will record your dog as missing and contact you if found at a later date.

The Animal Welfare League also have their own Council Found Pets list which can be found here. The list includes photographs and details of impounded dogs found in different Councils. If you believe your dog is on the list please contact Council’s Authorised Officer on 0408 811 065 with any enquiries or to arrange collection from the Animal Welfare League. Please also take note of the Animal ID before contacting the Authorised Officer.

When reporting a lost dog include its registration number, name, sex, breed, colour, age, whether it has been micro-chipped or wearing a collar and any other identifiable features. Also include where your dog was last seen.

How do I Claim my Dog from Council

You must first verify your dog has been impounded by the Council. Once you have confirmed your dog has been impounded, please attend the Two Wells Council Office. In order for Council staff to release the dog you must provide suitable ID (e.g. drivers licence, proof of age).

Please be aware dogs impounded by Council are only released once payment is received of all relevant fees, pursuant to Section 62 of the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995. In addition, if your dog is not registered as required by Section 33(1) of the Act, we will require registration to be paid prior to release.
