🚨 Emergency
If there is an immediate threat to life or a serious emergency, call 000.
If you witness a dog attack involving a person or another animal, report it to North Sydney Council Rangers as soon as possible. If the incident occurs outside Council business hours, you may also contact your local NSW Police, who have powers under the Companion Animals Act 1998 to respond to dog attacks.
🩷 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

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

🛡️ 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.
