City of Calgary Animal Services Reduces Adoption Fees for November

This November, Calgarians will have the chance to welcome a new furry family member for less. The City of Calgary’s Animal Services Centre is reducing adoption fees for both cats and dogs throughout the month to help more animals find loving homes before winter.

  • Cats: $84.52 + GST (regularly $169 + GST)
  • Dogs: $100 + GST (regularly $225 + GST)

“Every adoption gives an animal a second chance and opens space in our shelter for others who need help,” says Kathleen Dickson, Coordinator of Animal Care and Clinic Services. “We hope this price reduction encourages more Calgarians to come meet the incredible pets waiting for homes.”

All animals adopted from Animal Services are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, health-checked, and include a one-year City of Calgary pet license. These comprehensive adoptions ensure pets are healthy, identifiable, and ready to start their new lives safely.

With colder weather arriving, Animal Services is also reminding Calgarians to keep pets warm and safe this season. “If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them,” adds Dickson. “Bring pets indoors, ensure they have warm bedding, and limit outdoor time when temperatures drop.”

Adoptions take place at the Animal Services Centre (2201 Portland Street S.E.), open seven days a week. Visit calgary.ca/adoptapet to view available animals, learn about the adoption process, and schedule a visit.
