Lost and found animals
The Township of North Stormont is changing its service model to better serve our growing community. The Township of North Stormont has entered into an agreement with our municipal partners in Russell Township. With a modern animal shelter, and in close proximity to North Stormont, Russell Township has multiple resources to better service our communities.
If you lose, or find, a dog in the Township of North Stormont, please contact the municipal office at 613-984-2821 during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.) Monday to Friday.
After hours, please contact the Township of Russell's Public Safety & Enforcement Department at 613-443-3066 (ext. 8) to pick up a missing dog that is being held by a resident.
Please note Russell officers will only respond to dogs being held and will only respond to dog at large complaints if the animal is creating a public safety concern.
Russell Public Safety & Enforcement will care for the animal until they either reunite with their owner or are placed for adoption. Canines brought to the shelter will be held for 72 hours before being placed for adoption.
Wildlife
Wildlife is a natural part of the North Stormont community in both the rural and settlement areas. There are many ways property owners can reduce the likelihood of wildlife problems such as getting rid of sources of food and shelter on your property and putting out garbage the morning of collection instead of the night before.
The Township of North Stormont does not offer a service to deal with nuisance or injured wildlife on private property. Raccoons, skunks, foxes and any other wild animal found on private property should be removed with the assistance of a pest control specialist or a Wildlife Rehabilitator.
The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has resources available to help you if wildlife is repeatedly visiting/affecting your property. To find a private local wildlife control service search “wildlife control” or “wildlife removal” on 411.ca. You can also call them at 1-800-667-1940.
