The Pilot Program is a progressive implementation. The general goals and objectives of the established program will strive to: 

• Foster a mutual respect for all animal welfare stakeholders and find common ground to work collaboratively to encourage community solutions.
• Creation of standards and best practices for humane treatment of companion animals. 
• Encourage responsible pet ownership and mitigate nuisance animal complaints.
• Improve the registrar and enforce licensing of pets, to ensure pets can be easily reunited with owners and encourage responsible pet ownership.

When will the Pilot Program start and end?

The Pilot Program will officially launch with the public consultation and continue until the program has two full years of complete operation to be able to assess the data and success and it may be necessary to extend or cancel the period to respond to shifting priorities. 

How will the City Consult with the public and stakeholders?

A Public Survey, along with the draft animal by-law and supporting key information on the pilot program will be available for comment and feedback between August 14 – September 11, 2023, through the website.

About 

The retention of Dogs and Cats at the City facility is intended to be short-term and within the retention periods provided in the By-law, where possible.

Discretionary provisions will apply to situations as they arise that ensure the health and safety of Persons and Animals involved in the matter.

Impounding of Cats that cannot be clearly identified as owned pets is discouraged and shall be addressed by other means such as City sanctioned programs.

Animal Care and Control Office 

The Animal Care and Control Officer may seize, any Dog or Cat, found At Large. The Animal shall be considered impounded at the time and place it is seized.

A seized animal may be impounded for a minimum of 5 business days from the time of impoundment, exclusive of the day on which the Animal was impounded. 

If a impounded animal is not redeemed the Officer may retain the Dog or Cat for further time as they consider proper and may:

• Transfer the Animal to one of the authorized shelters, rescue group or other organization registered with the City
• Euthanized if found to be medically or behaviorally unhealthy and untreatable in alignment with the Asilomar Accords.
