The Community Animal Shelter and Animal Pound is operated by Mornington Peninsula Shire as the local hub for animal welfare and community safety on the Peninsula. With over 30 years of experience, the facility cares for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, livestock and small ‘pocket pets’, providing temporary housing and attentive care for stray, lost and surrendered animals. The team focuses on reuniting pets with their owners when possible, and facilitating responsible adoptions to suitable homes when reunification isn’t an option. In addition to sheltering and adoption work, the service plays a central role in local animal control—managing nuisance and pest animals and responding to wildlife issues across the shire. Community education is also a priority: the shelter runs outreach and information efforts to promote responsible pet ownership and reduce problems before they arise. Whether you’re looking to reclaim a lost pet, adopt a new companion, or learn more about caring for animals in the community, the shelter provides practical assistance and local expertise aimed at keeping people and animals safe and well cared for.
