Pet Licences

Licensing your pet helps ensure they will be returned to you if they ever wander off. Our Responsible Animal Ownership bylaw requires all dogs to be licensed annually.

New applications

Apply online

We're so thrilled our friends at the Alberta Pound and Rescue Centres (APARC) are settled into their new space at 3184 Gershaw Drive and will soon allow online applications for pet licenses. Once their online system is up and running, we'll include the link here.
