About Owen Sound Animal Shelter
The Owen Sound Animal Shelter provides animal control for the City of Owen Sound and Saugeen Shores. The Shelter cares for stray animals until owners can reclaim them and also provides an opportunity for people to adopt a pet into a loving home. Renee and Todd Robins, Animal Control and By-Law Officers for the City of Owen Sound, have been operating the Shelter since April 1, 1999. Renee has spent her life working with animals. Her specialty is training in animal behaviour and behaviour modification, coupled with animal health and first aid, anatomy, physiology, microbiology and animal nutrition. She has rounded off her training with media relations. Renee has also worked for the animal care network and has worked in the private sector. Todd has worked in the private sector and trained in the enforcement field. Todd also worked in a vet clinic for 13 years and now runs the day-to-day management and operations of OSAS. Together they make a dedicated team and are devoted to helping animals not only find their "forever homes" but helping animals in need. In 2007 the Owen Sound Animal Shelter celebrated 8 years of being a no-kill facility.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
