Searching for a missing pet in Sydney
In Sydney, bushland reserves back onto suburbia, so a frightened dog can be off-street within minutes — search reserve entries first.
Start within 100 metres of where your pet was last seen, then widen out. Ask neighbours to physically open sheds, garages and under-house spaces — that single request finds more cats than any other step.

Who else to contact in Sydney
Ring nearby vet clinics, your local council animal control or ranger service, and the closest shelter. Update your microchip registry with a current mobile number — a chip with stale details is the most common reason a found pet in New South Wales doesn't get home.
