End-to-end animal management for NSW councils.

StGAR responds promptly to council requests for the collection of stray, unattended and nuisance animals. Our team attends the location, safely secures the animal and transports it to the appropriate facility in accordance with council procedures and applicable NSW legislation.

• Stray dogs and cats on public land
• Unattended animals causing nuisance
