emailBylaw & Animal Care Services
CRD Bylaw and Animal Care Services have been functioning as an Animal Control agency for over 20 years. We offer high quality Animal Care and Control with caring and experienced staff trained to look after all domestic animals. Our mission is to provide services with integrity, impartiality and efficiency with the goal of obtaining voluntary compliance.
We provide animal care and pound keeping services to 11 out of the 13 municipalities within the Capital Regional District: Sidney, North Saanich, Central Saanich, Highlands, Colwood, Langford, View Royal, Esquimalt, Sooke and Metchosin. We also administer services for three electoral areas and three First Nations Reservations: Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, Salt Spring Island, Southern Gulf Island Electoral Area and the Tsawout, T’souke and Songhees First Nations.
Our mandate is to return pets to their owners in a timely manner. If this is not possible animals are well cared for at our Pound facility, and if unclaimed, animals are found suitable adoption or foster homes. Our Pound received a national award for animal re-homing in 2007 at the Banff Urban Animal Summit, and we continue to pride ourselves on our re-homing success rate.
Other than the departments in the CRD we also provide Bylaw Services for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, Salt Spring Island, Southern Gulf Island Electoral Area, Highlands and Metchosin.
An Animal Care Officer is on duty seven days a week from 8am to 6pm; after hours we have an officer on call to deal with emergency situations only.
