Dog Pounds and Adoption

Council's main impounding facility is located in Narrabri adjacent to the saleyards. The facility is not manned. Animals can only be viewed / surrendered / released or impounded by prior arrangement with the Ranger. Please contact 02 6799 6866 to arrange for any of these services.

Dogs that are injured or suffering should not be delivered to the pound and should be delivered to the closest vet clinic.

• Registration fee if unregistered;
• Approximately $60.00 (Vet Charge) micro-chipping fee if the animal is not micro-chipped;
• Minimum $50.00 impounding fee + a $25 sustenance fee that is charged for their care and food whilst impounded.
• Any veterinary costs incurred;
• Payment of any damages that the animal may have caused whilst roaming ie, injury to stock, another animal or property damage; and
• Payment of any penalty notice issued.
