Animal Control
The Town of Slave Lake patrols the Town of Slave Lake for cases of Animal Control. Animals seized by the officer are housed at the Town Dog Pound and adoptions of unclaimed animals remain at the discretion of the Animal Control and Peace Officers. Typically, animals are sent to Slave Lake Animal Rescue and put up for adoption after three days of being unclaimed.
All Peace Officers act as Animal Control Officers and employees of the Town of Slave Lake. As such, they are authorized to issue summonses for offences under the Town of Slave Lakes Animal Control Bylaw.
Residents of Slave Lake can contact the Animal Control Officer through the Animal Control complaint line at 780-849-8000.
