Animal Services is committed to reuniting all lost pets with their owners. In the instance where this is not possible, the pet is placed up for adoption, in hopes of finding a new and loving home.

All of our animals available for adoption can viewed from our adoption photo page or by visiting the Petfinder site at www.petfinder.org/shelters/ON226.html.

Adoption Fees are as follows:

• Adopt a dog $120.00
• Adopt a cat $85.00

The adoption fee includes the following:

• The initial set of vaccinations
• Free 30 day trial of shelter care pet insurance
• Free City of Pickering Animal Licence

Although every effort is made to ensure that all animals are spayed/neutered before adoption, it is not always possible. In situations where cats/kittens are too young to be sterilized, a $75.00 rebate certificate is provided for owners who bring in proof of alteration within 120 days from the date of adoption.

If you are interested in adopting an animal from us, we advise you to do the following:

1. Visit the Animal Shelter and complete an "Adoption Application Form".
2. Once at the shelter we advise that you spend time with the animal to see if he/she will be a good fit for your lifestyle. Speak with the staff as they are very knowledgeable, and know the personality of each animal.
3. Meet with shelter staff to discuss care and nutrition for the new pet.
4. Enjoy the new member of your family!
