RSPCA Brisbane, Wacol

If you’ve found a lost pet, please contact your local Council.

You can also take the animal to your nearest vet to scan for a microchip. This will help them get reunited with their owner.

If you’ve found a sick, injured or orphaned animal, you can bring them directly to the RSPCA for care, or your closest vet. You can call for assistance over the phone via our hotline 1300 ANIMAL.

Please read our tips below on what to do when your pet goes missing, or if you find a lost animal.

We understand that circumstances change which may mean that you need to give up your pet. We ask that you fill out our surrender form so that we can gain as much information as possible about your situation and your pet. Our RSPCA team can then prioritise a surrender appointment based on your needs and our shelter resources and capacity. We try our best to priortise emergency surrender applications.
