Found animal
If the animal is not injured and you can keep it and yourself safe, then please look after the animal and do the following:
- Check the local area to see if anyone is searching for the animal nearby
- Check with neighbors to see if anyone has lost a pet if you are near houses
- Take the animal to a local vet or shelter to be scanned for a microchip – the owner’s contact details may be available
- Check posts and ads on LostPet.co.nz, Neighborly, Trade Me and other community groups online
- Consider posting a found ad on LostPet.co.nz Neighborly or other community pages
- Please try to confirm that you have the genuine owner before handing the animal over
- If you still need help, please submit a lost/found form to HUHA
