Animal Control and Care in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo

A litter of puppies enjoy their temporary home at the RMWB Animal Control Services facility in Fort McMurray.

It has been said, time and time again, that the residents of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) are its greatest strength, this proves no exception for our furry sidekicks. An estimated 40,000 pets are believed to live and enjoy northern life in Wood Buffalo; with the beautiful Birchwood Trails, spacious off-leash parks, ample pet stores, animal support organizations, and wonderful veterinary clinics – the amenities for our four-legged friends are abundant. The RMWB also advocates for the safety and well-being of all animals, as it does its human

residents. Bylaw Services plays an integral role in ensuring pet owners have emergency support service, dispute mediation, safe off-leash parks and reuniting lost pets. Non-pet owners are provided with professional dispute resolution support to promote community safety and responsible pet ownership. Animal Control Services within Bylaw Services, has a skilled team of Animal Health Technologists who ensure the safety of lost pets or strays while in their care. The RMWB Animal Control Services facility ensures the best possible love and care for any animals within the prevision of Bylaw Services. As a region, it is no doubt we are doing our part in caring for pets, and as residents you have the purr-fect opportunity to do your part as well! Within the RMWB it is a pet owner’s lawful duty to register pets within 14 days of becoming a pet owner or taking up residency within the Municipality. With the estimated pet population versus the number of registered pets, we know compliance to our region’s Animal Control Bylaw is not where it should be. There are many great benefits to licensing your pets- should your pet ever get lost, or in the unlikely, yet possible, event of an emergency or evacuation, a registered pet is easily identifiable and returned to its owners as quickly as possible- at no cost to its owners. Through compliance, having the most accurate pet population documented can identify the needs for our region in terms of recreational pet services, health services, as well as emergency response services. Another great benefit of licensing your pet is that it’s extremely affordable! For only $15.00 annually, all neutered pets (cats and dogs) can be official RMWB residents, if your pet is still intact the fee is $50.00, and pet owners over the age of 60 years can register their furry companions at no cost. Exotic pets such as reptiles, birds and other pets are also registered at no cost. April is pet registration month, so it’s the perfect time to do your residential due diligence and register your Sparky and/ or Fluffy - to register your pet visit www.rmwb.ca/bylaw or call Pulse: Wood Buffalo Call line at 780.743.7000.

VACATION If you have received an unsolicited vacation offer please be advised of the following:

Some of the solicitations are valid, some are not. Some offers are subject to you entering into a

Timeshare agreement. Some offer a high end vacation but reserve the

right to change this location subject to availability

Research the company with the Better Business Bureau and other sources from the internet. If you have not requested information then "buyer beware" should be your thought process. Don't fall for a high pressure sales tactic, if it's a deal, it will be available again. If it is a prize you need not pay for it. If your vacation call asks you to press a number like "9" or "5" it does not allow them to take over your residential line.
