Lost pet help in Maple Ridge, British Columbia

Who to call first in Maple Ridge

Pickup and bylaw enforcement
City of Maple Ridge — Bylaw, Licensing & Community Safety, 604-467-7305
Where a picked-up animal is held
Maple Ridge SPCA Shelter, 10235 Jackson Road — the city’s contracted shelter, 604-463-9511

Two organisations, two jobs. The city’s bylaw department is who you call about a dog at large or a stray animal; the BC SPCA shelter is who holds animals impounded under the city’s bylaws, under an operating agreement with the city. Call the city first about a pickup, and the shelter about an animal already brought in.

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