It’s roaming dog season! What do I do if I find a dog in South Simcoe County?

It’s confusing because each township provides different services and has different protocols! 

** If You Find a Dog in the Townships of Essa, Clearview, or Adjala-Tosorontio Do This:

The pound for these townships is Alliston & District Humane Society at 5545 Concession 4, Everett, Ontario.

So how do I get a found dog picked up from my home in these townships?

Clearview: 

Clearview provides weekday and after-hours service for dog pick up. Call: 705-428-6230 ext. 272 and leave a message. A canine control officer will pick up the dog. There is also an after-hours officer who picks up messages and dogs on evenings and weekends.

Essa:  

Essa provides ONLY weekday service during office hours. Call: 705-424-9917 ext. 122 and a canine control officer will pick up the dogs. There is no after-hours or weekend service. As a courtesy, ADHS will take a dog after hours or on a weekend if the finder is willing to bring the dog to the shelter. Call and give us a heads up that you are bringing in an Essa dog 705-458-9038 or 705-890-6717. Otherwise, you will have to wait until a weekday for pick up.

Adjala Tosorontio: 

Adjala Tosorontio provides weekday and after hours pick up. Please call 705-890-6717 and leave a message. A canine control officer will respond and pick up the dog. If you experience frustration getting a dog picked up, it’s often because the finder is calling the wrong township or the wrong number. Canine control services in all 3 townships respond as quickly as possible.

All dogs in the pound in Essa, Clearview and Adjala-Tosorontio townships are posted quickly to this site. Please check to see if ADHS has your dog. https://www.facebook.com/ADHSLostandfound
