The Central Goldfields Shire Pound is Council-owned and operated, and caring for hundreds of lost and surrendered animals every year, including: cats, dogs and various livestock, including sheep, pigs, horses, goats, poultry and cattle.

Animals are cared for at the Central Goldfields Shire Pound while we attempt to find their owners. If no owner can be found, animals are assessed for their health and temperament, and then made available for adoption.
