Dog Shelter and Adoptions
The dog shelter in Ramara is committed to the care and well-being of all dogs. The Township of Ramara owns and operates the Brechin Shelter, located at 3290 County Road 47, and lost and found pets or dogs available for adoption are located here.
Lost and Found Pets
If you find a dog, please call the Township immediately at 705-623-7295. We will set up a time for us to pick up the animal.
We will care for lost dogs until we can find the owner. If we are unable to reunite the dog with their owner, we will put the animal up for adoption.
Making sure that your dog is licensed allows staff to reunite dogs with their owners fast and reduce any sheltering fees.
If Bylaw Enforcement finds and captures your lost pet, you will be subject to a $30 per dog Impound Fee and a $20 per dog/per day Boarding Fee (plus HST) for first impound of the year to get your animal released. For a list of all fees related to Canine Impound, view the Fees and Charges Bylaw.
