Owners are responsible for their animal in relation to the Companion Animals Act and may be liable for any breaches that may have occurred in relation to the Act. Please

Dogs and cats are kept at the Tweed Shire Council Impounding Facility for the minimum of 14 days for an animal that has been microchipped and a minimum of 7 days for animals without microchips.
Council officers will make every effort to find the owner of the dog or cat and arrange for the owner to collect it.
When you collect your pet from the Tweed Shire Council Impounding Facility you will be required to pay a release fee and additional fees to cover the time your pet has spent in the facility. If you are a resident of NSW, you will also be required to microchip and register your dog if not already registered. QLD residents will be required to have their animal microchipped.

Friends of the Pound Tweed Inc. was founded in May 2000, they are a non-profit charitable organisation, dependent solely on donations and the fund-raising efforts of volunteers. Their primary purpose is to re-home abandoned animals. They also promote the importance of responsible pet ownership and hope to lessen the increasing number of homeless animals, particularly through encouraging the desexing of animals to reduce the appalling number of unwanted pets.
