Animal Control and Shelter Service

Animal Control is third only to police and fire protection; it is an important component in providing a safe environment to live in.

By-laws are rules by which community peace and order are kept in neighborhoods. By-law enforcement provides an effective, neutral way of imposing restrictions on people's tendency not to respect shared public space and the way their activities may infringe on someone else's property or rights.

We are responsible for stray or nuisance dogs or cats (and their owners) in the Municipalities of:

The City of Greater Sudbury,
The Town of Espanola,

Our approach

Education and high profile patrols have gained us the respect of the residents we serve. It is our intention to provide superior care for lost, abandoned and injured dogs and cats. Reducing the number of animals that are invariably euthanized each year is our major goal.

The reason for companion animal overpopulation is that many people do not spay or neuter their dogs and cats, which then reproduce, creating enormous numbers of kittens and puppies. They are responsible for introducing more animals into a world that already has too many cats and dogs in need of good homes. Follow the link below to read more about the spay/neuter program.

Many animals are left to suffer on the street or are abandoned or killed by their owners. The lucky ones are taken to open-admission shelters. Many of the animals who make it to The Rainbow District Animal Shelter (an open-admission shelter) are reclaimed by their guardians or adopted into new homes.
