Big Lakes County’s Animal Care Facility provides care for dogs who were found astray, may not have an identified owner, or dogs who were surrendered to Big Lakes County. Dogs placed in the Animal Care Facility will stay for three days while our staff make every attempt to contact their owner. Dogs who have not been claimed after the allotted days become the property of the County and will be placed in the care of In The Woods Animal Rescue, or will remain at our Animal Care Facility and placed up for adoption.
If you wish to inquire about an adoptable dog in our care, please contact the Animal Care & Control Officer at 780-523-5955.

Blanche
About Me
Blanche is a very sweet, well-behaved dog who is currently learning basic commands and to walk nicely on leash. She is very calm, wise and is a fast learner. She is quiet and spends her time lounging in our Animal Care Facility. She also gets along with other dogs but likes her own space while eating. She would be a perfect fit for someone who wants a calm companion in their lives!

Dog Name
Sugar
About Me
Sugar is a sweet and loveable gal who knows basic commands
and walks well on leash! She gets along with other dogs but shouldn’t be
trusted with cats. Being a husky, she will need plenty of daily exercise and
will most likely need to be on leash or fenced in at all times to prevent
wandering. She has very good manners and we believe she has been house trained
as she never makes a mess in her kennel!

Dog Name
Nala
About Me
Nala is an energetic pup who is growing like a weed! She is
currently learning basic commands and is learning not to jump up as well. She
is fun, excited about life and is very smart. She gets along with other dogs
and loves to play! We aren’t quite sure how she will be with cats as she gets
older but currently she seems to be ok with them.
