Lost or stray dogs

When City of Hobart’s Animal Management Officers find a stray dog wearing a current Council registration tag, every effort is made to contact the owner before the dog is taken to the Dogs' Homes of Tasmania. View more information about registering your dog.

If your dog is missing or you have found a stray dog contact the City of Hobart or alternatively take the stray dog to a vet.

Members of the public sometimes take a stray dog directly to the Dogs' Homes of Tasmania so you may also call them to see if your dog has been taken there.

Always remember to keep your pet’s microchip details up to date with the company the microchip is registered with, as many strays are taken to a vet by members of the public for scanning of the microchip details in order to locate the owner.
