The Alice Springs Animal Pound

Unregistered dogs, cats and other animals at large are taken to the Animal Pound as the southern end of Len Kittle Drive next to Blatherskite Park. The Pound is managed by the RSPCA of Central Australia on behalf of the Alice Springs Town Council.

Alice Springs Town Council Rangers make every effort to locate the owners of registered animals rather than take the dog to the Pound. An infringement notice may still be issued for ‘an animal at large’ if it is returned to the owner.

Unclaimed or unwanted dogs and cats may be sold or euthanased if held at the Pound for longer than 48 hours. If your animal is impounded, you must pay the Pound Release and Maintenance Fees.

Lost Animals

If you have lost your animal contact the Pound, or the Alice Springs Town Council Ranger unit. Bear in mind that an animal which has been picked up by the rangers may not arrive at the pound straight away.
