Animal Cruelty & Welfare

For Animal Cruelty & Welfare concerns, please contact 1-833-926-4625.  Effective January 1, 2020, the Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) Act came into force, creating the first fully provincial government-based animal welfare enforcement system in Canada. Ontario now has the strongest penalties in Canada for people who violate animal welfare laws. To report animal abuse or cruelty, please call the toll-free number, 1-833-926-4625. The call centre is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can also visit their website - www.animalprotection.ca/ontario/ for more information.

Wildlife

If you find an orphaned, injured, ill, or displaced animal or bird, please contact an Authorized Wildlife Rehabilitator in your area. They are volunteers, trained in dealing with wildlife conflicts. They can offer humane alternatives and can assist you on whether intervention is necessary. They are not a removal service.
