Reuniting Animals

Every year hundreds of lost cats, kittens, puppies, rabbits, birds and many other animals come into our centres. If we think the animal is owned therefore missing from home, we do everything we can to try and reunite it with its owner as soon as possible:

  • Most animals are scanned for a microchip. If a microchip is located we will search the relevant databases and contact the registered owner immediately. It is very important that you keep your microchip registration details up-to-date.
  • We enter the details of the animal onto www.petsonthenet.co.nz
  • If you have lost your dog, you will need to contact your local council Animal Control first - we only collect lost dogs if they are sick, injured or very young

As an approved organisation under the Animal Welfare Act (1999) if an animal is not reclaimed from us and is healthy and temperamentally-sound, after 7 days in our care it will normally be made available for adoption.
