Animals at the City of Belmont Animal Care Facility will be held for a maximum of 7 days for owners to reclaim them.

After 7 days, dogs and cats are then transferred to the City’s Authorised Contractor, Julie’s Kennels.

All animals transferred into Julie's Kennels will be assessed for suitability for re-homing.

Claiming your impounded pet

Before you can claim your pet, you need to:
 

• Pay all outstanding impound fees;
• Pay any outstanding infringements related to the impounded animal;
• Pay for or prove current registration;
• Have your pet microchipped if not already done – the facility will arrange for a chip to be implanted, which is mandatory under the Dog Act 1976 and the Cat Act 2011.

Cats must also be sterilised. If not, the facility will work with City Rangers to make suitable arrangements. This is mandatory under the Cat Act 2011.

Current impound fees

The following fees apply to impounded pets:
 

• Initial impound and first 3 days - $110.00
• Daily keep fee after 3 days - $24.20

Unclaimed Animals

After the mandatory holding period, impounded animals which have not been claimed by their owner can be made available for re-homing.
 
Julie’s Kennels has an association with Celebrity Pets, an animal re-homing organisation. Representatives from Celebrity Pets will assess each animal available for re-homing for suitability for its program.
