Lost pets
Check Derwent Valley Council's website for where it holds impounded animals; City of Hobart uses Dogs' Homes of Tasmania (Hobart).
Mark your pet missing on Council dog registration and your microchip registry so any vet or shelter that scans the chip sees it, and drop a lost pet pin on the map at the street it went missing from.
