With services provided under contract by the London Animal Care Centre (LACC), Animal Care & Control's four main areas of responsibility are animal control, by-law enforcement, dog licensing and cat identification program and shelter services for stray animals.
Animal Control
For the protection of residents and visitors to London as well as other animals. Our mandate covers stray dogs, sick, injured, or dying domestic or wild animals.
Services are delivered seven days a week, with some conditions. Other functions include rescue matters where animals are in distress, 24 hour emergency service, subsidized spay neuter incentive program .
By-law enforcement
Enforcement of three City of London by-laws:
Issuing Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs):
Issuing Notice of Contravention (NOCs) - typically issued to allow a pet owner time to purchase identification.
Issuing verbal and written warnings for the PH-3 animal control by-law and PH-4 Dog licensing & control by-law.
