City of Coquitlam Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The Coquitlam Animal Shelter is dedicated to the compassionate care and support of stray animals, working tirelessly to reunite lost pets with their owners and find loving forever homes for those in need. We believe every animal deserves a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment while they await their next chapter.
Our History and Community
Operating in the City since 2003, our shelter serves as a vital resource for the cities of Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Port Coquitlam. We take pride in being a hub for animal wellness, supporting families by keeping pets and their people together through services like our Pet Pantry.
Our Care Model
Our facility provides a clean, professional, and nurturing environment for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. With a team of experienced staff, we provide medical and behavioral assessments to ensure every pet is healthy, happy, and ready to transition into a new home. We prioritize comfort, offering specialized care and socialization to meet the unique needs of every guest in our care.
Your Partner in Adoption
We believe that a successful adoption is built on a thoughtful, informed match that respects the lifestyle and needs of both the animal and your family. Because we want every placement to be a permanent, joyful success, we guide you through an application process that helps us understand your unique situation. Whether you are seeking a playful dog or a quiet companion, our staff is here to help you find the perfect friend.
Join Our Community
Are you ready to meet your new companion? We invite you to explore our available animals online or visit our facility at 500 Mariner Way during our viewing hours to see who is waiting for a family. We look forward to helping you make a difference in a rescue animal's life.
