🩷 Pink for Leasy Tip

Even if the dog has left the area or no one was injured, reporting roaming or aggressive dog behaviour can help councils identify repeat incidents and intervene before someone or another animal is seriously harmed.

Every report contributes to a clearer picture of what's happening in our communities and supports safer outcomes for both people and companion animals.

📢 Still need help?

If you've reported ongoing concerns without resolution, or you've experienced:

  • a dog attack

  • a near miss

  • repeated roaming dogs

  • ongoing aggressive dog behaviour

we encourage you to complete one of the Pink for Leasy Community Surveys.

The information you share helps us identify patterns across NSW and advocate for improvements to education, legislation, reporting systems and community safety.

🛡️ Prevention Starts Before an Attack Occurs

Reporting concerns early, including roaming dogs, repeated escapes, aggressive behaviour or suspected breaches of companion animal laws, may help prevent future incidents.

Together, we can build safer communities for both people and companion animals.
