Lost pet help in Delta, British Columbia

Who to call first in Delta

Pickup and bylaw enforcement
City of Delta — Delta Community Animal Shelter and the Bylaws Division, 604-940-7111
Where a picked-up animal is held
Delta Community Animal Shelter, 7505 Hopcott Road, 604-940-7111

Delta runs its shelter directly rather than contracting it out, so a found animal from anywhere in Delta — including North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen — is held here rather than at a Lower Mainland SPCA branch.

Out of hours. There is a secondary line on 604-946-4141 ext. 2 for after hours. For an after-hours animal that is aggressive, sick or injured, Delta Police is the route.

Checked against the City of Delta’s own animal shelter page on 4 October 2026 — read it yourself. Services and contracts change — confirm before you travel.

One organisation in this directory names Delta in the area it covers: Delta Community Animal Shelter.

That is municipal animal services.

Further down the page, four organisations cover British Columbia as a whole and five work Canada-wide.

Opening hours, intake practices and how each organisation wants to hear from you are set by that organisation, not by this directory — check its own page or call before you travel.
