Animal Management

As of August 2024, Alice Springs Town Coun­cil began pro­vid­ing ani­mal shel­ter ser­vices for the ben­e­fit of our community.

The Ani­mal Shel­ter is cur­rent­ly open by appoint­ment only as we focus on reunit­ing lost and found pets, car­ing for and rehom­ing stray animals.

Lost a pet?

If you’ve lost your pet and want to see if it’s at the shel­ter you can email a pho­to of your lost pet to animalshelter@​astc.​nt.​gov.​au with your name and con­tact infor­ma­tion. A mem­ber of our Shel­ter Team will then have a look and ensure that we’re keep­ing an eye out. 

Found a pet?

Call the Ranger Unit on (08) 8950 0500 to organ­ise col­lec­tion. If you wish to drop it off at the Ani­mal Shel­ter your­self, please call 0490 393 825 pri­or to ensure there is some­one onsite to meet you.

Want to adopt a pet?

If you’re look­ing for a fur­ev­er friend please call 0490 393 825 to organ­ise a time for a vis­it. We have a wide vari­ety of cats and dogs that are look­ing for lov­ing homes.
