Unclaimed animals

Cats and dogs are not rehomed directly from the animal pound.

Where possible, all unclaimed animals get rehomed by a registered and reputable animal rehoming service who can ensure:

• The animal will be assessed by a vet, vaccinated and sterilised

• The animal can be matched to a new owner appropriately

• The property can be inspected and assessed.

It is rare for animals to be euthanised, unless:

• It is overly aggressive and behaviour retraining is not an option

• Health and injuries determine it is the best option for the animal.
