Lost pet help in Surrey, British Columbia

Who to call first in Surrey

Pickup and bylaw enforcement
City of Surrey Animal Services, through the Bylaw Call Centre, 604-591-4370

Surrey Animal Resource Centre, 17944 Colebrook Road — owned and operated by the City of Surrey, 604-574-6622

Surrey runs both the service and the shelter itself. Its own page states that animals found in Surrey should be brought to the Surrey Animal Resource Centre.

Dogs and cats are not always the same answer. The centre takes dogs, cats, small animals, livestock and exotics, and publishes separate stray-dog and stray-cat lists.

Out of hours. Officers are available 8am–6pm. No after-hours stray path is published.

Checked against the City of Surrey’s own lost-and-found-pets page on 4 October 2026 — read it yourself. Services and contracts change — confirm before you travel.

Two organisations in this directory name Surrey in the area they cover: BC SPCA Surrey and Surrey Animal Resource Centre.

Between them they are shelters and humane societies and 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.
