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.

2023 03 30 Sugar

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!

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.
