City of Calgary Animal Services Reduces Adoption Fees for November

This November, Calgarians can adopt a new furry family member for less. The City of Calgary’s Animal Services Centre is lowering adoption fees for both cats and dogs throughout the month to help more animals find loving homes before winter.

Adoption Fees

Cats: $84.52 + GST (regular price $169 + GST)
Dogs: $100 + GST (regular price $225 + GST)

“The City of Calgary’s Animal Services Centre is reducing adoption fees for both cats and dogs throughout the month to help more animals find loving homes before winter.

Every adoption gives an animal a second chance and opens space in our shelter for others who need help,” says Kathleen Dickson, Coordinator of Animal Care and Clinic Services.

“We hope this price reduction encourages more Calgarians to come meet the incredible pets waiting for homes.”

Adoption Benefits

All animals adopted from Animal Services are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, health-checked, and include a one-year City of Calgary pet license. These adoptions ensure pets are healthy, identifiable, and ready to start their new lives safely.

Winter Pet Care Reminder

With colder weather approaching, the centre reminds pet owners to keep animals warm and safe.

“If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them,” adds Dickson. “Bring pets indoors, ensure they have warm bedding, and limit outdoor time when temperatures drop.”

Adoption Location and Hours

Adoptions occur at the Animal Services Centre, located at 2201 Portland Street S.E., and the centre is open seven days a week.
