FOUND

You have found an animal? Our team is here to help you!

Please note that many of our services are now by appointment only. Please refer to the sections below to find out how to proceed. If in doubt, contact us at 819 243-2004 or and we will guide you on how to proceed.

What should I do if I find a pet?

Have you found a pet in one of the areas we serve?

I found an aggressive, injured, or in danger pet

I found an aggressive, injured, or in danger pet

Contact 3-1-1 (Gatineau) or your local police department immediately.
Keep your distance. Ensure your safety and the safety of those around you.

I found a dog

I found a dog

Take a quick look around the area where you found him; his family may already be looking for him.
If the dog has an ID that allows you to contact the owner, do so. If the tag does not have a phone number, we can take care of it.
If the dog has no identification or the tag does not have contact information, contact us as soon as possible at 819-243-2004, ext. 23, or at . We will want you to bring the dog to our shelter so we can take care of the rest of the process and provide appropriate care.
If you are unable to approach the dog, call 3-1-1 or 819 243-2004.

I found a cat

I found a cat

If the cat has a collar, is easily approached, and seems to be in good general physical condition (nice coat, healthy weight, clean, etc.) there is a good chance that it has a family.
- If the cat has a collar and the tag shows the family's contact information, try to contact them directly.
- Otherwise, you can take the cat to a vet to check whether it has a microchip that could allow to reunite it with its family.
- If you’ve been seeing the cat wander around for several days, post its photo on social networks and check out lost-and-found Facebook groups. More tips here.
If none of these steps are successful, please fill out the form below. Please note that we accept stray cats by appointment only.

We will contact you within 48 working hours of receiving the form. We answer emails from Monday to Friday.
For emergencies, call 311 (Gatineau) or your local police department.

What should I do if I find a wildlife animal?

With urban sprawl and development, it is not uncommon to see many small mammals taking up residence in our neighborhoods and becoming more urban wildlife.

It is not recommended that you relocate small wildlife on your own, as this poses risks to you and the animals. For example, baby wildlife is often left alone during the day and only fed in the evening or at night. They are not truly abandoned by their mothers. An attempt to relocate them could separate the young from the mother at a key period in their development.

Furthermore, our shelter is not able to take in wild animals.

You can refer to the resources of the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec for more information and tips for harmonious cohabitation.

I found an injured or sick wild animal

I found an injured or sick wild animal

According to the Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs du Québec, when you find an injured, sick or dead animal you must follow these few tips for your safety.

In some cases, letting nature take its course may be the best option. The death of wild animals is an integral part of healthy ecosystems, and the survival of some animals depends on it.

In the vicinity of an injured or sick animal, the following safety precautions should be followed:

Keep pets away at all times to minimize pet stress and prevent the spread of disease;
Avoid staying close to the animal as this may cause additional stress;
Never attempt to intervene with an animal that could bite or injure you, such as deer, herons, or raccoons.

When an injured animal is discovered (other than in a traffic accident), contact SOS Poaching before any intervention, as some animals are reportable.

If you have found an injured or endangered bird from species that are not protected, contact the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre directly.

In any case, we are here to support you and to look after the well-being of the animals around us. Do not hesitate to contact us at 819 243-2004 or at .
