Lost and Found Pets

If you find a dog, please call us immediately at 705-623-7295. We will set up a time for us to pick up the animal.

We will care for lost dogs until we can find the owner. If we are unable to reunite the dog with their owner, we will put the animal up for adoption.

Making sure that your dog is licensed will allow staff to reunite dogs with their owners fast and reduce any sheltering fees.

If Bylaw Enforcement finds and captures your lost pet, you will have to a $30.00/per dog Impound Fee and a $20.00 per dog/per day Boarding Fee (plus HST) for first impound of the year to get your animal released. For a list of all fees related to Canine Impound, visit our Fees and Charges Bylaw.

It is located at 3290 Country Road 47 at the south end of Brechin. Map here.
