If you find your pet please notify us. If you are still

periodically.
Tips to prevent losing your pet:
-
Ensure that your cat is wearing a collar and ID tag
displaying its name and your phone number at all times.
-
Ensure that your dog is licensed and is wearing his/her
municipal dog tag.
-
Have your pet microchipped or
tatooed
-
Be sure to inform the municipality of any change in
address or phone number
-
Always keep your dog on a leash
-
Have your pet spayed or neutered.
A spayed or neutered pet is less likely to roam. Plus,
they will not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem
and thus crowding at the WAG shelter.
-
Use a carrier when transporting your cat. Cats may respond
to loud noises or unfamiliar surroundings by jumping from
your arms.
-
Check to see where your pet is each time you leave home
and when you go to bed.
-
Be attentive to your pet when opening and closing doors,
particularly when there is company around. Pets may become
stressed and dart out an open door.
-
If you are leaving your pet with a pet-sitter, ensure that
person is responsible and understands the importance of
proper supervision.
-
Keep your pet indoors during events where firecrackers are
commonly set off such as New Years, Canada Day, and
Halloween. Animals can become frightened by the loud
noises and run away as
a result.
