How Hinchinbrook Shire Council Can Help Reunite Pets And Owners

January 28, 2025

Losing a beloved pet can be a stressful experience, but the Hinchinbrook Shire Council is here to help. The Council’s pound provides a safe, temporary haven for impounded animals and offers clear steps for owners to reclaim their pets.

Owners have three to five working days to collect their animals, depending on registration and microchipping requirements. If unclaimed, these animals become available for rehoming after 2pm on their exit date with the full list of currently impounded animals available online at www.hinchinbrook.qld.gov.au/community-environment/pets-and-animals/impounded-animals/.

Want to give a pet a forever home? You can register your interest in rehoming with the Council before noon on the exit date. Adopting a pet requires completing a simple application and paying a registration fee.

To report a lost or found animal, contact the Council by calling 4776 4600 or emailing council@hinchinbrook.qld.gov.au.
