Pound and Rehoming Centre

Griffith City Pound and Rehoming Centre location: Duchatel Road, Griffith NSW 2680

The Pound & Rehoming Centre is managed by Griffith City Council and is open by appointment Monday to Friday.

Companion Animals are an integral part of our community, culture and society and we are committed to promoting responsible pet ownership and strengthening animal welfare standards.

Council recommends the consideration of de-sexing of cats and dogs to assist in the reduction of numbers of unwanted cats and dogs.

Our Centre is a state-of-the-art facility designed with the welfare of animals as the main priority and to provide the best care possible to impounded cats and dogs until they are reunited with their owners or rehomed. The facility, constructed in 2017 at a cost of $500,000, has air conditioning and underfloor heating to protect the animals from extreme weather, and the floors are treated with a sealant to minimise the spread of canine and feline diseases. 

The Centre is provided as a service to residents in the Local Government Area for lost and missing cats and dogs. View lost & missing animals here.

Fees apply for the release of impounded animals and animals must be registered before release. See our fees and charges here.

Surrendering a pet is always a difficult decision. There are many avenues you can investigate prior to calling Council to surrender your pet as a last resort. More information on rehoming or surrendering an animal can be found here.
