Ms Laura Jerome

By email only:    [FOI #8164 email]

                      

 

Dear Ms Jerome

 

Official Information Request – RFS 3897617

 

I refer to your official information request received 2 July 2018. Your
request has been referred to Legal Services for consideration under the
provisions of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
1987 (“the LGOIMA”). 

 

Your request

 

“Dear Far North District Council, how does Council meet its obligation to
seek the owners of lost dogs?”

 

Our response

 

The Dog Control Act 1996 requires dog owners to register their dogs with
Council. Unfortunately, many dog owners do not meet their obligations as
set out in the act and do not register their dogs with Council.

 

The Dog Control Act 1996 also requires dog owners to microchip their dogs,
for the purpose of permanent identification, and supply this information
to Council. Unfortunately, many dog owners do not meet their obligations
as set out in the Act and do not microchip their dogs or provide Council
with this information. T

 

The information Council obtains from owners when they register their dog
is held within a database. The animal management team use this database to
access dog owner information, and if recorded, make contact with the dog
owner to arrange the dog’s return.

 

Council can only contact dog owners if it is aware of their contact
information through the registration process.

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

Yours faithfully
