Lethbridge Animal Services

The city of Lethbridge Animal Shelter is a city funded facility and operated by SPD Animal Services. We currently house any stray or found animal located within Lethbridge city limits and do our best to return an animal to its owner, or adopt an animal to a great new family. If you are thinking of adopting a new pet and have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter though the information listed below. SPD Animal Services also enforces the dog Bylaw for the City of Lethbridge and will be pleased to hear of any concerns. Our mission is to enforce the municipal bylaw #5235 consistently and effectively. Dog licenses can be purchased at the shelter or at City hall. For more information and to obtain a copy of the dog bylaw, please visit the City of Lethbridge website. *Unfortunately there are rare occasions when it is necessary to euthanize an animal. This only occurs after all avenues have been explored. Cases when this is necessary are if an animal is sick or injured beyond veterinary help or proves to be unadoptable due to excessive aggressive behaviour, either towards people or other animals. Euthanasia is carried out upon consultation with and by a qualified veterinarian and the decision is never taken lightly.
