Lock up (an animal) (7)

I believe the answer is:

impound

(Other definitions for impound that I've seen before include "Seize (goods) legally" , "Shut up" , "put cordon round" , "Seize and confine (illegal vehicle)" , "Take legal possession of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
