Our animal rangers do more than just patrol parks - they make a big difference to pet owners and animals across Greater Dandenong.

Take this sweet boy, a dog who went missing recently. His photo was shared online but never officially reported. Our rangers saw it, remembered his face and days later they found him hiding at a property. They knew instantly that it was him and reunited him with his family.

From reuniting pets to responding to reports, our rangers go above and beyond every day. 🐾
