Roxby Municipal Pound
In July 2020, Roxby Council constructed a new animal detention facility (pound) fit for the purpose of keeping dogs and cats in a safe environment in the event an animal is captured and temporarily detained.
This facility consists of:
- Four large individual pens,
- Two small individual pens,
- One extra-large pen for long-term dangerous dogs, inside a secured outbuilding, and
- A yard for exercising dogs.
Animals have access to clean, dry bedding, food and water and are monitored twice daily whilst impounded. Dogs impounded overnight are exercised each morning by Council's Ranger or an Authorised Officer who is on after hours on-call duties.
Seized dogs and cats are detained in the Council Pound and the Lost Pets procedure is followed.
