Lost pets
Check Town of Claremont's website for where it holds impounded animals; City of Perth uses South Perth Animal Care Facility (shared with the City of Perth and several councils).
Mark your pet missing on Your local council (dog and cat registration) and your microchip database 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.
