Animal Control
Dog Licence and Pound Bylaw 1161
The Dog Licence and Control Bylaw regulates the licencing of dogs in the City. Under this bylaw, owners of dogs must not permit their animals to bark in a manner which disturbs the quiet of the neighbourhood, must not allow their dogs to be at large, and must take special precautions to ensure that vicious dogs do not present a danger to the public. Every dog owner must immediately remove any excrement left by their dog on another person's property or on public property. No person shall own, keep, harbour or have in his possession any more than two (2) adult dogs per residential unit.
Dog Control
Have you lost or found a dog? Call (604) 541-2146. It's also a good idea to contact the Surrey SPCA (604) 597-5655 and the local papers to put an ad in right away.
Should your dog be picked up by our Animal Control Officer, every effort will be made to contact the owner prior to impounding. Once the dog is impounded the owner could be assessed the following charges:
| Dog at large fine | $100.00 |
| Impound fees | $80.00 (no licence) or $60.00 (with a licence) |
| Dog unlicenced fine | $50.00 |
| Dog tag | $25.00 or $40.00 unneutered/unspayed (neutered or spayed proof required) |
| Kennel Impound | Separate fees (Contracted out) |
Dogs and the Waterfront
Dogs are currently prohibited from White Rock Pier and Promenade all year round. From September 16 °C May 14, leashed dogs are allowed on the waterfront area between Bay Street and High Street as outlined in the map,
