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

Griffith City Council promote the responsible ownership of pets and Companion Animals as they are an integral part of our community, culture and society.
Council recommends the consideration of de-sexing of cats and dogs to assist in the reduction of numbers of unwanted cats and dogs.

The 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 rehomedThe Centre is provided as a service to residents in the Local Government Area for lost and missing cats and dogs

The facility was completed during 2017 at a cost of $500,000 which 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.

Fees apply for the release of impounded animals and animals must be registered before release. See our fees and charges here or information on lost and missing animals 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. Please seek advice from us and chat with one of our Animal Rehoming Staff. Surrendering an animal can only be made by appointment and if your animal can be assessed and fits the criteria for our rehoming process we may help. More information on Rehoming an Animal or Surrendering an Animal can be found by clicking here.

If you are looking for a family pet, you can view our animals available for adoption below or visit our Griffith Pound and Rehoming Centre Facebook page to see the animals that are currently available for adoption in the Centre, or arrange a time to visit us during opening hours to meet them face-to-face!
