Community Programs
Community programs at The Lost Dogs’ Home promote responsible pet ownership keeping pets safe, happy and at home.
About our community programs
Through vital partnerships with local councils, The Lost Dogs’ Home community programs support pets and people with education, services and outreach in schools, parks and neighbourhoods.
Why it matters
Our community programs aim to extend the care of The Lost Dogs’ Home beyond the shelter to support and empower communities through education, accessible services and early intervention. We aim to keep people and pets together, promote responsible pet ownership, encourage good animal welfare, and prevent animal surrender.

Topics can include dog and cat behaviour advice, educational presentations, or safety around pets.
As part of our offering, we can also provide free behavioural advice on site, with experienced trainers available to speak directly with pet owners and answer questions.
