Shelters and rescues near Langley
Contacting local shelters is one of the most important steps in reuniting a lost pet. Many shelters only hold stray animals for 72 hours, so call the ones nearest where your pet was last seen as soon as you can. Lost.ca partners with humane societies and shelters across Canada, and many now post the strays they take in on Lost.ca too, which is why owners often spot their pet in this feed before the shelter calls.
Lost pet resources in Langley
Who to call in Langley when a pet goes missing or is found: the municipal service that takes in strays, the found-animals list to check every day, and the local humane society.
Good to know: Stray dogs from both the Township and the City are posted on the LAPS lost and found page within 24 hours and held at the Patti Dale shelter (26220 56 Avenue). Cats are not covered by either bylaw, so cat help from LAPS is limited. The Township bylaw line is 604-532-7551.
