According to 2017 numbers from Mississauga Animal Services, the organization typically houses a minimum of 60 pets a day during the low season (the winter months) and up to 200 pets during the warmer months. On average, the service shelters and cares for more than 3,000 animals a year.

Mississauga Animal Services is also reminding people that every cat and dog in the city needs a licence as per the Animal Care and Control By-law. A pet licence is your pet’s identification and it has vital information that can help Mississauga Animal Services reunite them with you in the event they are ever lost. It also provides information to emergency services to assist in pet rescues or emergency evacuations.  

The purchase of a pet licence also helps fund the care for the animals at the shelter.
