Lost
an animal?
Call us at
(506) 857-8698 and we’ll keep an eye out for it. We have many
strays turned in and we may have your lost friend! Found pets are
kept for four days (96 hours) before they are considered
as candidates for the adoption process. Please note that not
all animals go up for adoption. After the 96-hour
holding period, they become the property of the Moncton
SPCA. We, in turn, then consider their adoptability based
on many determining factors.
If you posted a lost or found ad to our
website, it is your responsibility that it is posted correctly.
Call us at (506) 857-8698 if you don't see it posted within a day.
The ad system is a public service and is not a substitute for
reporting your pet to the Moncton SPCA via telephone or in person.
While we do our best to monitor these ads, resources sometimes do
not allow us the time.
If you have lost your
pet, we also suggest posting a notice around your neighbourhood,
online, in the newspapers and on radio stations.
Found an
animal?
Please call
us if you have found an animal at (506) 857-8698. You have two
options:
-
Care for
the animal yourself (if you can) and we’ll try to match it
with the lost animals called in to the shelter.
-
Bring the
animal to the shelter or call us and we will pick it up (pick-ups
only within City of Moncton limits).
The animal
will then be held for four days (96 hours) before it
becomes our property. We, in turn, then consider their
adoptability based on many determining factors.
If you are
interested in adopting the stray animal you turned
in:
-
You still
must be approved for adoption.
-
Once an animal is turned
over to us, it must pass all our testing (health, temperament,
etc.) before it is put up for adoption if it is not claimed by its
owners. Even then, we do not guarantee that you will get the
animal.
-
We do not
hold animals nor do we ever guarantee that you will be able to
adopt the animal even if you are approved. We operate on a first
come/first served basis.
-
If you are
interested in keeping the animal but would like to reunite it with
its owners if possible, the best option is to register a
description of the animal with us and simply keep the
animal if the owners do not come forward.
