Cars Become Ovens in the Summer!
We closed the doors of our patrol car and in less than 10 minutes the average inside temperature had soared to over 41C, and areas near the windows shot up to over 60C! So NEVER leave your pet in your car, even for a moment. If you see an animal in distress call: 905-845-1551.
Get Your Dog Licence Online!
A dog licence is your best insurance for the safe and quick return of your family member. It also makes your dog instantly identifiable to anyone who may come across your pet and helps avoid the daily boarding charge. Best of all, a lost licensed dog will likely be at the shelter for just hours, not days. Learn more.
Reunion Stories!
When your beloved pet goes missing it can be a traumatic experience for both of you. We have a dedicated Lost & Found team whose goal is to reunite missing pets with their owners. Learn more.
