PUBLIC NOTICE

STRAY DOG TRAPPING IN SUVA CITY

NOTICE TO ALL RESIDENTS WITHIN THE SUVA CITY MUNICIPALITY

TAKE NOTICE that STRAY DOG TRAPPING exercise is currently being undertaken by the Council in partnership with the SPCA within the City boundary.

Since this notice shall apply to all areas within the Suva City Boundary, residents are advised to ensure that their pets are secured and safe and do not become trapped with the stray dog population of the City.

Dogs trapped will be taken to the SPCA at Walu Bay and shall be available for reclaiming by their owners within 48 hours of capture subject to payment of charges to SPCA. All dogs released will be neutered and the costs shall be borne by the owners as well.

Dogs not claimed within 48 hours shall be put to sleep by the SPCA and no liability shall attach to either the Suva City Council or the SPCA or any employee or agent thereof, arising out of this stray dog trapping exercise.

Due to the surge in stray population becoming problematic to the City community,  trapping of strays will now become an on-going exercise for the City until further notice.

Residents with any queries may contact SCC Health Dept on phone 3313433 x 404 or email to customerservice@scc.org.fj or the SPCA on ph; 3301266.

Residents are urged to please cooperate with the SCC/SPCA team to get rid of stray population within the City.
