What do you do with the dogs that are impounded?

Approximately 23% of dogs captured or surrendered to the municipal pound are reunited with their owners. Dogs that are suitable for adoption are transferred to animal shelters or rescue organizations, where they receive appropriate veterinary care and assessments before being placed in new homes.

In cases where a dog has severe medical conditions, poses a significant safety risk due to aggressive behaviour, or cannot be appropriately placed with a shelter or rescue organization, humane euthanasia may be considered in accordance with provincial regulations and accepted animal welfare standards.
