To apply for an animal keeping approval, please see Animal keeping local laws and permits.
If you rent a property, have a body corporate or live in a retirement village you will need to get approval from your landlord, body corporate or the management of the retirement village to lodge with your application.
You may need a development approval if you want to keep more dogs than an animal keeping approval allows. For more information please see Development in Logan.
General requirements
All dogs living in Logan must be registered with us and microchipped.
As a responsible pet owner, you must make sure your dog does not cause:
- a build-up of animal faeces
- breeding or harbouring of flies or vermin
- damage to property
- harm to human health or safety
- nuisance
- significant disruption or annoyance to your neighbour’s.
Foster carers
Foster carers may keep up to nine dogs for a determined length of time with approval from us. If you would like to join our foster care program, please see Foster Carer Program.
Foster carers registered with other relevant agencies must get approval and abide by our Subordinate Local law 4.1. For more information about the approval process please call us on 07 3412 3412 or email us at council@logan.qld.gov.au
