If a dog or cat is wearing a City tag or has a microchip and can be safely scanned, the Animal Services Officer will immediately give the pet a free ride home (first time offenders only). If the pet is not wearing a City tag and/or is not microchipped, it will be transported to the Animal Services Centre where it will be cared for.
