Cat and Dog Registrations

Dogs

All dogs need to be registered and micro-chipped from the age of 3 months. When your dog is micro-chipped, you need to advise the Shire of the number and provide a copy of the documentation if possible.

Only 2 dogs and their puppies (under three months of age) can be kept on a any property.  Residents who wish to keep more than two dogs (but no more than six) are required to apply for a permit.

Cats

From 1st November 2013, all domestic cats over 6 months of age must be registered with your local government, and must be micro-chipped and desexed. To help identify an owned cat, it needs to wear a collar and registration tag.

When registering your cat, make sure you have their micro-chip and sterilisation certificates.
