Adoption:
If you’re looking for a pet to join your family, look no further
than the Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services. A
shelter for many dogs and cats who need homes. Come down and visit
some potential pets.
Adopting a dog or cat is fun and a joy, but it’s a responsibility
too. Your intention of adopting a pet should be to provide a home
for it all of its life.
When you take home a pet, here are a few things you should remember:
- The dog/cat must wear a valid licence at all times.
- The dog/cat must be treated humanely and be cared for at all times.
- The dog/cat must be treated as a house pet and member of the family;
it should not be chained, tied or confined to a pen, run, or other
enclosure all the time.
- The dog/cat must never be released for medical or veterinary experimentation,
or permitted to be used for breeding purposes.
- You will ensure that the dog/cat receives annual vaccines and any
other veterinary attention that it requires. You must be prepared
to deal with these financial obligations.
- You will allow Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services
to follow up for the purpose of ensuring that the terms and conditions
of this agreement have been upheld. If you fail to meet the terms
of this agreement, Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services
may take custody of the dog/cat.
Returns:
We understand that it may not always work out. We will always accept
our animals back, however keep in mind:
- Adoption fees are only refundable for 72 hours.*
* If the animal was spayed or neutered on your request, these costs
are not refundable!
- We will take in any animal adopted either from the shelter or
from Friends of Shelter Pets for no additional fee for 30
days after the adoption.
After 30 day we will ask that you pay a surrender fee:

- The Rainbow District Animal Control & Shelter Services
accepts no responsibility for the present or future condition of the
animal, or any actions of the animal while in your care. We will not
reimburse adopters for any expenses occurred while the animal was
in your care.
Fees
The adoption fee range from $70.00 to $375.00 This fee may be increased
to off-set costs the shelter has incurred during the dog's stay.
The adoption fee generally covers the cost of the dog being spayed
or neutered, first set of shots, microchip, and other veterinary costs
as required. Some pets are too young to spay and neuter and are adopted
under the condition that the new owner will have this done to the
pet at a later date. If you are a resident of Greater Sudbury or the
Town of Espanola, Townships of Baldwin (McKerrow), Sables-Spanish
Rivers (Massey, Walford, Webbwood) Shedden (Spanish) & Town of
Northeastern Manitoulin and the Islands (Little Current & Sheguiadah),
Nairn Hyman, you will also be required to purchase a current year
license.
Fostering:
We need foster placements for pregnant and nursing cats. This can
be up to a 10 week commitment, if you are willing, please give us
a call.
Only preapproved foster parents will be permitted to foster animals.
Foster Homes will only be approved upon a visit to your home by
the Manager of the Shelter. Please call the shelter for more
information on this program, or
