2009 Dog Licenses are due now! If you live in the Thornhill Dog Control Service Area annual dog licenses are required. Should your dog get loose it is a means of us finding you, the owner - and returning Fido home where he/she belongs!
Who We Are
The adoption fee for a dog is $105.00 deworming and the cost of a routine spay or neuter job! We'll even include the license fee if you live in our service area. You CANNOT beat that! Cats adoption fee is $84.00 and includes worming and the spay/neuter. Check out our great pets....
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine provides a Dog Control service to Electoral "E" (Thornhill) and a specified portion of Electoral Area "C" (Copperside Estates area). The services includes:
Operating the Thornhill Animal Shelter
Enforcing the Dog Control Regulations and Impounding Bylaw No. 494, 2002.
Licensing dogs.
Routine patrols.
Impounding dogs when necessary.
Managing and adopting out dogs.
Striving for voluntary compliance with bylaw regulations.
Educating the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership;
i.e. spaying, neutering, licensing, etc.
Providing a boarding service.
The Shelter also cares for and adopts out unwanted cats as a courtesy service as space allows.
Bylaw No. 494, 2002, includes provisions requiring the mandatory spaying and neutering of all animals adopted from the Thornhill Animal Shelter.
The Thornhill Animal Shelter is located at 3856 Desjardins Avenue behind the Thornhill Fire Hall. The Shelter is open to the public Monday - Friday, 1:00pm to 5:00pm. For further information, please contact the Animal Shelter at (250) 638-1565 or email at dogcontrol@rdks.bc.ca
We believe the answer to the expanding unwanted pet population is SPAYING AND NEUTERING! Thus we have a Spay and Neuter policy, all animals adopted from our shelter will be spayed or neutered and this is covered in the adoption fee.
