Since 1 July 2023, City of Mount Gambier has reunited all 16 stray dogs that have been picked up by Council's General Inspectors with their owners, besides a small puppy. That dog was collected earlier this week and has been transferred to a foster home through Wet Noses Animal Rescue.
'Hector' the Jack Russell cross was the first dog to require impoundment at Council's holding kennel facility this week after he was found wandering on Wireless Road West, Mount Gambier. Council was however pleased that his time in the holding facility was short lived as he was able to be placed in foster care for the period of his impoundment.
"He didn't have a tag and wasn't microchipped, so we couldn't return him to his owner," Team Leader General Inspectorate Derek Ferguson said.
