I’ve found a pet – what should I do?
Please understand that only councils have powers relating to most stray animals in South Australia. So, if you find an uninjured stray cat, dog or any other companion animal, you must immediately contact the council where you found the animal.
However, if the animal is injured, please immediately call our 24-hour hotline on 1300 4 777 22. Our Animal Ambulance service can pick up injured dogs and cats for South Australia’s councils, before delivering them to a veterinarian for care.
