The City of Cold Lake's Animal Care and Control Centre is the first point of contact for Cold Lake Peace Officers and Cold Lake residents who find stray animals within the City’s corporate limits.

Pets with identification will be kept for a minimum of ten days, while animals without identification will be kept for a minimum of three days before being transferred to an animal adoption agency. The owners of impounded pets will be charged a $60 intake fee and a $20 care fee for each day of impoundment, along with any veterinarian fees incurred for the animal.

The Animal Care and Control Centre hours are: Monday to Friday, 10am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm. The facility is closed on Sundays and holidays. The facility is located at 5008 62 Street in Cold Lake South.
