There is a solution for each reason one might give up a pet, whether it is due to the pet’s health, the cost of spaying or neutering, a move, a lack of space or time. If your pet has a behavioural problem, see a veterinarian, who can, if necessary, refer you to a specialist. 

Rehome your pet

Ask around to see if anyone you know wants to give your pet a new home. 

There are outdoor bulletin boards around Montréal where you can put up posters free of charge. Some groups can also help you rehome your pet.

Take your pet to a shelter

If you cannot find a new home for your pet, bring your pet to the shelter responsible for your borough. 

You then have 15 days to cancel your cat or dog license.
