“IT'S OKAY, MY DOG’S FRIENDLY” – THINK BEFORE YOU SHOUT! 🗣️

Your dog might love everyone, but not all dogs – or people – want to say hello. Some dogs are fearful, injured, or just want their space. Others might be working on training or have health issues.

People, too, can feel nervous or unsteady if an excited dog runs up uninvited. Always pause and check before letting your dog approach others, whether they have a dog on-lead or not.

Polite, calm greetings keep everyone safe and happy! If you’re still building your dog’s recall or social skills, consider keeping them on-lead until they’re ready.

Let’s keep our shared spaces safe and happy for everyone! 🐕

📢 Reminder: Dogs Must Be Kept on Leads at Willaston Cemetery 📢

Council has received reports of dogs being walked off-lead and not under effective control within the Willaston Cemetery.

We remind all that dogs must be on a lead no longer than 2 metres at all times while within the cemetery grounds. This requirement helps maintain a respectful and peaceful environment for everyone.

We kindly ask dog owners and walkers to follow this rule and support the preservation of the dignity of this important site.

Council will be increasing patrols in the area to ensure compliance and safeguard the comfort and safety of all visitors.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. 🐕

Lost pets can’t tell us where they live – but a microchip can!

A missing pet is every owner’s fear which is why microchips are so important but why else should you do it?

🐾 Permanent identification and proof of ownership.
🩺 Quick and safe procedure.
🏠 Help bring your pet sooner if they ever escape.
📖 Legislation requires dogs and cats to be microchipped.
🌐 Easy access to update owner and pet details on Dogs and Cats Online (https://dogsandcatsonline.com.au/)

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Make sure your pet is microchipped with updated details TODAY.
Contact your local veterinary clinic or Council for more information.

Because every pet deserves a way home. 🏡💙

Another day, another dog 🥺

This gentleman was found wandering near the Golden Fleece in the early hours of this morning (03/06/2025) before being taken to Gawler Animal Hospital. Unfortunately, he does not have a microchip so we are unable to identify his owners. He is safe with Council for the meantime but we would love to reunite him with his family.

If you have any information that may assist Council in locating his owner, please call Council on (08) 8522 9211 🐕

If Council are unable to locate his owners, rehoming opportunities may be explored once the appropriate assessments have been conducted.
