Greater Shepparton City Council is reminding all responsible pet owners to register their cats and dogs and pay the renewals by 10 April.
Director Business Chris Teitzel said “registering your animal is of great benefit if your missing animal is found. It can be returned home the same day so it can be reunited with its owner at no charge.”
“Registration fees cover more than just the cost of reuniting lost animals with their owners. The registration fees also help cover the cost of Council services to respond to calls about wandering dogs or dog attacks, or nuisance issues such as barking dogs, control of dangerous breeds, monitoring pet shops and kennels, breeding businesses and our animal shelter”.
“To receive the reduced fee your animal must be de-sexed and micro-chipped or over 10 years of age, belong to a domestic animal business or applicable organisation, or be a dog that has undergone training or is a working dog”.
“Every dog and cat over the age of three months must be registered. Not only is it the law, but it assists your animal as well,” said Mr Teitzel.
New cat or dog registrations need to be done in person at the Council offices in Welsford Street, Shepparton. Renewals can be paid on the Council website or by using BPay, in person or by mail.
