Lost Lane Cove pets have a new destination. Sydney Dogs & Cats Home has moved into a new permanent site at Kurnell and now provides pound services for Lane Cove Council.
For years, pets that rangers couldn’t get home went west to Blacktown. First to the old Blacktown Animal Holding Facility and more recently to the Blacktown Animal Rehoming Centre at Glendenning. Now owners will be heading across the city to the south instead.
The 20,000 square metre site on Crown land is expected to care for more than 3,000 animals a year. It also aims to reunite more than 1,000 lost pets with their families.
Lane Cove joins Georges River, Inner West, North Sydney, Parramatta, Randwick, Strathfield and Waverley on the contract. The NSW Government put $14.3 million towards the facility.
