🐾IS YOUR CAT OR DOG MICROCHIPPED AND ARE YOUR DETAILS UP TO DATE? 🐾

We’re seeing many stray animals come into the shelter without microchips, or with outdated contact details. The quickest way to help reunite lost pets with their owners is to ensure your pet is microchipped and your information is current.

📞 If your pet is not microchipped, please contact Muswellbrook Shire Council on 6549 3700 to arrange microchipping.

🏠 Keeping your details updated helps get lost pets home faster.

Do you have a BIN number for Microchipping your litters?

🐾We have noticed an increase in litters of puppies and kittens in the area. Please be aware that a Breeder Identification Number (BIN) is required when it’s time to microchip any litter.

You can apply for a BIN using the link below. This requirement applies to all litters, even if they were unplanned or the result of a neighbor’s pet.

Desexing your pet is strongly recommended to help prevent unplanned litters and to support their long-term health and wellbeing, and help break the cycle

☎️ For information on more affordable desexing options, please contact Muswellbrook Shire Council on 6549 3700

The NSW Government requires anyone who breeds dogs in NSW to obtain a breeder identification number (BIN). While a BIN is compulsory for all dog breeders, it is not required for individuals breeding cats.

📣 Denman Recreation Area - Dogs off leashes 👎

Unfortunately Council has received some concerns from members of the public regarding dogs owners allowing their dogs to be exercised off leash at the Denman Recreation Area.

Some of these concerns raised to Council have involved dogs behaving inappropriately towards people using the Area for it's actual intended purposes eg fitness, sport.

PLEASE BE ADVISED DENMAN RECREATION AREA IS NOT AN OFF LEASH DOG PARK.

🦮 Dog owners can walk their dogs and enjoy time out and about with their furry friends, they just need to be secured via a leash.

COMPANION ANIMALS ACT 1998 – Section 13
A dog that is in a public place must be under the effective control of some competent person by means of an adequate chain, cord or leash that is attached to the dog and that is being held by (or secured to) the person.

FINES STARTING FROM $330 PER DOG MAY APPLY TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CONTRAVENES THIS PART OF THE ACT.

🐾 Council's off leash dog park; Denman Dog Park can be found on Virginia Street, south of the skate park.

🌳 Let’s keep people, dogs, ducks and everything else using the Denmam Recreation Area safe and share this wonderful space responsibly.

💩 Psst remember to bring a doggy bag with you to pick up the smelly and unsightl

👩‍🎓 The Muswellbrook Animal Care and Sustainability Hub welcomed some young visitors to the Facility.

🌱🐾 We hope everyone learned something new about sustainable living and animal care.

💤💤 The Hub was very quiet at the end of the day with some very sleepy worn out kittens and a snoozy Chase.
