Reclaiming YOur Pet

The Lloydminster and District SPCA is the holding facility for stray animals found in the City of Lloydminster, County of Vermilion River, Rural Municipalities of Britannia and Wilton, as well as many other surrounding communities. As the holding facility, the SPCA is required to adhere to the local bylaws of each area, including required stray hold periods and the collection of fines.

For some areas, the SPCA collects the appropriate fines at the time of reclaim. However, most communities require all fines to be paid at the municipal office before the animal can be released by the SPCA. Please contact the Lloydminster and District SPCA at 780-875-2809, prior to coming to reclaim your pet, to ensure the appropriate procedure is followed.

In addition to any fines incurred, the Lloydminster and District SPCA charges additional fees for housing your pet at our facility. Fees are as follows:

A boarding fee of $20/day/animal
A vaccination fee of $40/animal
An optional microchip fee $35/animal

Before the Lloydminster and District and SPCA can return your lost pet to you, you will be required to:

Complete a walk through of our holding kennels, to identify your pet
If your pet does not have a tattoo, microchip or license tag, you will be required to provide pictures, adoption papers or veterinarian records to confirm you are the owner of the animal
Provide at least one piece of government issued identification of yourself
Pay all fines and boarding fees associated with housing your pet

If someone will be reclaiming your pet, they must:

Complete all of the above requirements
Provide a letter of consent permitting them to reclaim to reclaim the animal on your behalf

If you do not reclaim your animal before the required holding period has expired, your pet will become property of the Lloydminster and District SPCA. For more information on reclaiming your pet, please contact 780-875-2809.
