Tenterfield Shire Council will collect and hold stray animals.
Animals that have been captured are held for the following legislative periods, before being destroyed or re-homed.
A person who impounds or captures a dog under the Act and does not notify Council is guilty of failure to take a seized dog to the owner or Council pound. Failure to comply warrants a fine of $440.00.
If you find a dog it is your responsibility to notify Council and attempt to locate the owner of the dog.
Should you find livestock roaming free or in a dangerous place please contact Council.
