Daisy, Harley, Luna and Charlie, are some of the top pet names in Australia according to data compiled from The Lost Dogs' Home. The list comes as animal shelters across the country are encouraging people to adopt rather than buy their next pet.

2021 figures by Animal Medicines Australia show there are more than 30 million pets across the country with Australia ranking as one of the top pet owner countries globally. The
