*Promotes responsible pet ownership through education


The City's Animal Services Centre located on Alloy Place is a municipally funded animal shelter. Their primary function is to protect the public from aggressive domestic dogs and cats through the enforcement of the City's by-laws. In addition, they operate the City pound for the safe keeping of stray (lost) dogs and cats and provide adoption services.

In Thunder Bay, all pet owners must license their dogs and cats within 14 days of ownership. Licences must be kept on your pet at all times, to enable us to reunite you with your lost pet. We'll even give your pet a free ride home the first time.

Thunder Bay's well-behaved canines and their owners can enjoy either of the City's Off-Leash Dog Parks. The off-leash dog areas are free of charge. Dogs must be over four months old and have a current City licence and rabies vaccination to use the park. The Animal Services By-law Officers do not have any authority to patrol these Parks.
