Lost Pets 

All lost pets in the City of Wetaskiwin are housed at the Wetaskiwin Animal Clinic (4735 39 Avenue), which operates the Wetaskiwin Animal Shelter. You can call them at 780.352.7006.

If you find a lost or stray animal, there are a few ways to return the animal to its owner:

• If the pet has a City of Wetaskiwin licence, call 780.361.4401 to be connected with a Community Peace Officer who will contact the owner.
• During business hours, take the pet to the Wetaskiwin Animal Clinic (4735 39 Avenue) and they will contact the City to connect with the owner.
• After normal business hours, please call the RCMP Complaint Line at 780.312.7267.
• If you would like to adopt the animal, be sure to ask for special consideration when reporting it or turning it over to the shelter. If the owner does not reclaim the animal and it is adoptable, you will be considered first for adoption.

If you have lost a pet, follow these steps:

• Immediately look around your neighbourhood.
• Visit the Wetaskiwin Animal Clinic - Shelter Facebook page to see if your pet has been turned in, or call them at 780.352.7006.
• Check with our Community Peace Officers (Phone: 780.361.4401) to make sure the contact information associated with your licence is correct. If your pet is licensed and wearing tags, animal services will contact you if your pet is found.
