If you have received this SMS, please register your pet with Council within 14 days of receiving the notice. If the animal is no longer in your care please ensure you update the animal’s microchip details with the corresponding Microchip registry. to ensure lost pets are returned to the lawful owner in the event they become lost or injured.
