Report lost and found dogs
The Regional District provides dog control services and assistance throughout the Central Okanagan. Dog licences through Westbank First Nation are not part of the RDCO dog licensing program, but we work together to return dogs to their homes. Residents on Okanagan Indian Band IR#7 in the Lake Country area, are not required to purchase a dog licence, so there is no program in place to help return dogs to their homes.
Is your dog lost?
If your dog is lost, call Dog Control at 250-469-6284
If you are calling after hours, leave a voicemail with your name, phone number, a description of your dog, and the location it went missing from. Please call again during business hours to follow-up.
Found a stray dog?

If reporting after hours, please leave your name, phone number, a description of the dog and where the dog was found. You may use the after-hours drop-off kennel at the dog pound (closed in extreme weather). Please place the dog inside the kennel, close the outside lock and call the emergency after-hours number 604-815-6006 or toll-free 1-888-670-2417
