Calgary is setting up a pet morgue where dogs and cats killed on the city’s streets can be identified.
It’s hoped the service will provide closure for distraught owners wondering what happened to their animals.
The remains will be taken to an Animal Services Centre for 10 days while officials search for licence tags, readable microchips or tattoos.
Owners will be contacted and given a choice to have Animal Services cremate the remains at no cost or to arrange for a private cremation paid for by the family.
The centre will also have a website listing deceased pets and when they were found.
