Animal Shelters

Please Note: The North Animal Shelter at 1300 Sheppard Avenue West will not be adopting pets until further notice. One of our animals has contracted a minor infectious skin condition. In order to ensure the health and safety of all animals, we will not be rehoming animals until we are sure that the condition remains isolated to the original animal. Residents who wish to surrender their pets must call first to book an appointment. Owners may experience a delay in surrender appointments until August 22, 2018.

We:

• provide dog and cat licensing services
• take in stray and surrendered animals or those in need of protective care
• provide quality care for homeless animals that are sick or injured
• reunite more than 2,000 lost animals with their guardians each year through our lost and found pets program
• find responsible, loving homes for more than 4,000 animals each year through our pet adoption programs
• provide vaccinations and microchip implants for animals to prepare them for adoption
• spay and neuter cats, dogs and rabbits to reduce pet overpopulation
• provide volunteer and donation programs to benefit dogs, cats and small animals
