The Clarington Animal Shelter is dedicated to promoting a safe and healthy environment for both our community members and the animals who share our lives. We are committed to reuniting lost pets with their families and helping new companions find their forever homes.
Owned and operated by the Municipality of Clarington, our shelter is located in Bowmanville as a central resource for local animal welfare. We serve as a vital community hub where our friendly staff and dedicated volunteers work daily to care for stray, injured, or surrendered pets.
We provide a comprehensive range of care, including sheltering, fostering, and medical support for impounded animals. Our team also works to educate the public on responsible pet ownership while providing critical services like licensing and by-law support to ensure every pet stays safe and healthy.
Choosing to adopt is a life-changing decision, and we are here to support you in finding the perfect match. Our adoption process is designed to be a transparent and positive journey, ensuring that every pet and adopter can look forward to a long, happy life together.
We invite you to experience the joy of adoption by viewing our available pets and submitting an application online. You can also visit us at 33 Lake Road in Bowmanville during our adoption hours to meet your future best friend in person. Let us help you start your next chapter with a new companion.
