Adopt a dog

As at July 19, 2023 - Fort Macleod Adopt a Dog program initiated.

The Town of Fort Macleod, along with many other jurisdictions in southern Alberta, are seeing major influxes in surrendered and "drop off" dogs. Currently we contract kennel services out and do not have a local shelter to house animals for long periods of time. Due to the number of dogs in our care, and being at maximum capacity at the kennel, we have a need to open these dogs to adoption and assist us in placing animals in a safe and caring home. A copy of the policy and Dog Control Bylaw are listed above.

If you are interested in meeting one of the dogs we currently have in custody or would like more information, please reach out to our Bylaw Officer Steve at bylaw@fortmacleod.com.
