We operate the pound on behalf of the City. Any stray pets that are brought to our Shelter we legally hold for a 72 hour period and kindly hold for a 10 day period to allow the pet’s owners time to track their animal to us.
Please check our adoption pages if you are looking for your lost cat or dog
In order to claim your pet from the pound all fees need to be paid by cash or cheque made payable to the City of Swift Current. These fees include impoundment offence fees, boarding costs and licensing if required.
As well any City of Swift Current resident must provide proof that their pet is licensed and up to date with rabies vaccinations. If your pet requires a City license, you may purchase one through the Shelter when you come to claim your pet.
