Stray and surrendered animals in Upper Hunter Shire are formally impounded at Scone animal shelter. Payment of impounding or adoption fees can be made at any Council administration office. You will need to show your receipt as evidence of payment before you may collect the animal.
Stray animals are microchip scanned by Council staff, who then attempt to contact the owner.
Impounded animals will be available for adoption after the following periods, as per the Companions Animals Act 2008:
7 days if not microchipped
14 days if microchipped
Visit our lost animals page for lost and found updates, and adoption opportunities. Updates will also be made on Councils Facebook page.
