Have you found a pet?

Check the animal’s tag for owner details or license information, which will have a contact number for the appropriate animal services department. If a pet was found within the Town of Cochrane, contact Cochrane Animal Services at 403-851-2532.
If a pet was found outside of the Town of Cochrane, contact the animal services department of the County or Municipal District in which it was found:

*Please note that the majority of pets seen off-leash in the community and surrounding areas are owned and cared for—leave them where they are so they can return home.

You can also post found animals on Facebook Pages like YYC Pet Recovery or Cochrane Alberta Lost & Found Pets. If the animal is injured or in need of medical attention, please take them to a vet clinic for medical assistance.

For further assistance regarding a pet you have found, call us at 403-932-2072. We are only able to accept animals in emergency situations and if space allows. If you have found a pet outside of our business hours, please keep the animal in a safe space in your home or garage until we are open. The animal can also be dropped off at any 24-hour vet clinic in Calgary.
