Auto pound?

What does that word mean?
Is it related to cars?

I wrote it in Google images but didn't understand anything, I could just see cars. I tried looking the word up in an online dictionary and it doesn't appear either..does it exist? Emotion: crying

It's a place where cars are towed after they're seized by the police (or other authorities) because of some infringement of the law -- usually because they were illegally parked. To get your car back, you have to go along to the pound and pay a fine.

Thank you Mr Wordy and CJ!

A dog pound would be the place they keep the dogs they find in the street who don't have a owner, I suppose
