About the Community Animal Shelter and Animal Pound

Customers are encouraged to contact the Community Animal Shelter and Animal Pound via the phone number provided to arrange an appointment prior to visiting with regards to adoptions, collections, donations, lost pets and surrenders. We are a small team and by doing this we can ensure one of our lovely staff members is available to assist with any questions, queries or concerns. However, if you'd like to visit us in person our staff will happily accommodate any enquiries you may have, we are open and available to all members of the public.

Please note: if your pet is impounded on a Sunday or public holiday, you'll be able to collect them the following business day. No additional fees will be charged under these circumstances.

The Shire manages the Community Animal Shelter and the Animal Pound in accordance with the Code of Practice for the Management of Dogs and Cats in Shelters and Pounds.
