Animal Services
Blacktown City Council provides an Animal Holding Facility for stray, lost or unwanted animals so these can be re-united with their owners or found a new home.
The facility also provides the opportunity for unclaimed strays to be sold or rehomed in order that it may again find someone to care for it.
The Animal Holding Facility is positioned under Council's Urban Animal Management section, which administers legislation governing companion animals in order to keep our community safe, free from nuisance and to assist owners in being reunited with their lost pet.
Council acts primarily as a regulatory body not as a welfare agency. Should you be concerned about the welfare of a neighbouring animal, please contact the RSPCA.
