If you have found a dog or cat in any of the Municipalities

If you need the animal picked up it is best if you
call early in the day to make the arrangements. We ask that you take
steps to confine the dog or cat until the animal control officer arrives,
and that you immediately call the shelter in the event the owners
claim the animal or the animal is no longer in your possession for
whatever reason.

Roaming Dogs or Cats
In any of the municipalities above no one is permitted
to allow their dog and in some cases cat to roam free. Residents must
keep their pets leashed and under control when ever venturing off
their own property.
Every Citizen has the right to report or confine a stray animal
and have it impounded by Animal Control.
The owner of any seized pet is liable for all fees associated with
the impound.

Dog Or Cat Bites:
These calls are given priority, as public safety is
our priority. It is an offence under the City's Animal Control By-law
to allow your pet to bite or attack a person or another animal. You
may be charged, and a muzzle or leashing order may be issued.
If someone has been bitten by an animal it is important to have
them consult a physician immediately then notify the Sudbury &
District Health Unit by calling (705) 522-9200.
Also report the incident to Greater Sudbury Animal Control &
Shelter Services, as the animal will be required to undergo a mandatory
10 day quarantine period to eliminate the possibility of rabies transmission.
Residents may surrender these pets for euthanasia at
a fee of $100. + GST for dogs and $50. + GST for cats. In addition,
residents may choose to use our quarantine facilities at a rate of
$15. per day.

Barking Dogs:
Barking dogs can cause a lot of aggravation for
residents. We investigate all barking dog complaints during regular
hours. The first step is a warning and thorough consultation with
the problem pet owner in order for them to learn to change their habits.
Fines of up to $5000 can be levied against persons who continue to
allow or permit an animal to disturb the peace quiet and repose of
any individual.
Stoop and Scoop
Make it a habit to pick up after your pet!
To protect citizens and other pets from disease and to keep our
municipalities clean and beautiful, all pet owners are required follow
stoop and scoop practices, even on our own property! A big part of
being a responsible pet owner is dealing with your pet's waste.
Failure to pick up after your pet (including on your own property)
is an offence and could result in a fine of up to $5,000.
