Animal Shelter
Open hours:
Thursdays & Fridays: 10am-3pm
Saturdays: 10am-2pm
*** Closed on public holidays ***
As of August 2024, Alice Springs Town Council began providing animal shelter services for the benefit of our community.
Outside the regular Open Hours, please contact the Animal Shelter on 08 7902 1100 to discuss alternatives 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 (08) 7902 1100 prior to ensure there is someone onsite to meet you.
Want to adopt a pet?
If you’re looking for a furever friend, you can visit us during our opening hours listed above. We have a wide variety of cats and dogs that are looking for loving homes.
