Council has developed and implemented a dog management policy and relevant staff oversee its operation. Stray dogs are impounded and cared for at the Burnie Dogs Home under a service agreement with the Tasmanian Canine Defence League. The contact phone number for the Burnie Dogs Home is (03) 6431 6199. All impounded dogs are subject to an impounding fee of $10.00 and a daily maintenance fee of $15.00.
The Council also maintains a pound at East Wynyard to accommodate straying stock.
