The Timmins and District Humane Society provides assistance for Animal Control by housing and caring for animals who are stray or surrendered.
Who Should You Call?
What happens if you find a dog running loose? Who do you call if you are concerned for a pet in distress? And where does the humane society fit into all of it?
If you find any pet running at large within the City of Timmins, your first step is to call Pads K9 (705-531-2998), who holds the animal control contract in Timmins. They bring the animals to TDHS where they are housed until either their family claims them, or they are forfeited to the legal care of TDHS.
If it is a matter of animal welfare, perhaps a cat requires medical care they are not receiving, or a dog does not have proper housing, food or water, then you call the Provincial Animal Welfare Society (1-833-9-Animal), who are responsible for investigating concerns for animal cruelty, abuse and neglect.
As a humane society, TDHS's primary role is animal care and education. They provide care to the animals who come to live at the shelter and help find them forever homes, as well as educate the public on appropriate and responsible animal care.
You can visit TDHS at www.timminshumanesociety.ca for more information on their services.
