What to do here
The District states it provides temporary shelter for strays and is responsible for picking up stray dogs, so a dog found loose in the District of North Vancouver is most likely to arrive here. Animal Services is on 604-990-3711.
Three separate municipalities share this corner of the North Shore, and they do not share one service. The City of North Vancouver is on 604-982-8302 (604-607-1651 after hours) and sends its impounded dogs to BC SPCA West Vancouver at 1020 Marine Drive. West Vancouver is on 604-925-7152 and uses that same Marine Drive facility, which its bylaw designates as its Animal Control Facility. If you are near a boundary, check all three.
The District’s practice for cats, and how long it holds a stray, are not stated on its published pages — ask when you call rather than assuming.

One organisation is never the whole search
A pet is found by whoever happens to be nearby, so the shelter, the city, the registry and the local search groups each hold a different piece. Work the list rather than one entry on it.
