Animal Services

The Town of Wolseley Animal Control Bylaw requires every pet owner to register his or her pet(s) and obtain a pet license each year (lifetime license options available).

It is important to register your pet for the following reasons:

  • Registering your pet demonstrates responsible pet ownership, and helps the Town of Wolseley with the identification and safe return of your pet
  • If your pet goes missing, having it licensed drastically improves your chances of getting it returned to you safely
  • Reduces the stress a pet may experience from staying at the pound
  • Allows the Town of Wolseley to contact the pet owner in the event of an emergency to make vital decisions regarding their care
  • Tt’s the law! The cost of a license is far less than the penalty for being caught without one and saves the cost of impound care and sustenance fees

Reporting a Lost or Found Pet

If you have lost or found a pet that has a Town of Wolseley Pet Tag, you can report it in the following ways:

  • During Regular Business Hours (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. & 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday): Call the Town Office at (306) 698-2477
  • During After Hours/Weekends/Statutory Holidays: Contact the Pound Keeper (coming soon); email the Town Office at townofwolseley@sasktel.net or if you have Facebook, post on the page called “Wolseley pets lost and found“

If the pet does not have a Town of Wolseley Pet Tag, or the pet is tagged but the owner cannot be reached, please contact the Pound Keeper for assistance.

Lost or Found Pets will be posted on this page, below the heading “Lost or Found Pets (see below)”.

Responsible Pet Ownership

Please remember, as a pet owner, it is your responsibility to keep your pet safe! The Town of Wolseley Animal Control Bylaw states that no owner of a cat or dog shall permit the cat or dog to be at large. By definition, “At Large” means if the animal is not being on the premises of its owner, unless the animal is on a leash not exceeding two meters in length and under proper control.

Not only does the licensing of your pet ensure that he or she will be returned home safely, it is a requirement of the Town of Wolseley. To find out more about Pet Licenses, click here.

Pet Licenses

Residents are able to register and purchase their pet tag(s) through the municipal office during regular business hours. Pet Licenses are non-transferable and expire December 31st in the year they were purchased.

Why Should I License My Pet?

  • If your pet gets lost or is injured, a pet license (pet tag) is a fast and easy way to identify your pet and to get in contact with you
  • Licensed pets are likely to be returned home
  • Licensing your pets shows that you are a responsible pet owner
  • The Animal Control Bylaw requires that your pet be licensed by the Town. It’s the law!
