• Impound Care: Dogs and cats without identification are held for a set period (minimum 3–5 days) before becoming available for adoption.

🧠 Useful tips for people looking to adopt

• Visit the shelter in person to meet available cats and dogs and interact with them before deciding.
• Check the lost & found register online or contact the shelter first if you believe your pet is missing.
• Ask about health and behaviour — some animals may have medical histories or temperament insights that help match them to the right home.
• Prepare your home beforehand: have essentials like pet-safe bedding, food and water bowls, toys and a secure area ready.
