The Ontario SPCA York Region Animal Centre is currently granted the pound contracts for both DOGS & CATS for the town of Markham.
IF YOU HAVE FOUND OR LOST A PET, PLEASE REPORT THIS ANIMAL TO THE FACILITY THAT HOLDS THAT AREA’S POUND CONTRACT. A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST OR FOUND A PET DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SOCIAL MEDIA. ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY REPORTED HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF BEING REUNITED WITH THEIR OWNERS.
For Animal Control (to pick up a dog Running at Large, or a contained cat) contact: Markham Animal Control – 905-415-7531
**When retrieving your pet from the Ontario SPCA, please remember to bring a carrier for your cat, and a collar and leash for your dog. **
If your pet is currently licensed at the time of reclaim, a license will be sold to you if you are a resident of Markham.
License your pet! – Licenses are very useful. They help reunite a lost pet with their owner. Licenses are mandatory for both cats and dogs in the Town of Markham. Licenses are good for one year from date of issue.
Shelters across Ontario receive thousands of stray animals each year, and many do not have identification. Identification (including microchipping) is the best way to ensure that your lost pet can be reunited with your family!
Please contact your municipality to ask about Licensing your pet.
For information about all other municipal animal control bylaws please contact the local municipality.
We do not take in wildlife. Please contact your local pound provider or Shades of Hope (705) 437-4654.
