Pets in Alma

A town of 30,331 whose animal services are its own: the Ville's fourriere holds the mandate and the shelter at 1770 chemin du Moulin Nord, and two pet shops are seated in town - three verified listings, and one honest empty where the dog parks should be.

Photos for Alma are still on their way. Every listing below is real.

Pets in a town whose pound is its own

Most towns this size borrow their animal services from a bigger neighbour. Alma does not. The Ville's own fourriere - its municipal pound and shelter - holds the town's animal-control mandate and sits inside Alma itself, out on the chemin du Moulin Nord. That is why this page exists: the park rule for this series is that a pets page ships only with a verified subject seated in the town it names, and Alma's subject is verified twice over, mandate and building alike. The 2021 census counted 30,331 people in the Ville d'Alma; this page is about their animals.

One correction up front, because the directories get it wrong: the SPCA Saguenay is not Alma's provider. It is seated in Saguenay and holds no Alma mandate on any surface reached. It appears on this page only in this sentence, so nobody drives an Alma stray forty-five minutes in the wrong direction.

The mandate holder: the Ville's own fourriere

Fourriere d'Alma - the municipal pound and shelter, mandate and building in town

1770 chemin du Moulin Nord, Alma · +1 418-662-7203 · Adoptions by appointment

The Fourriere d'Alma is the Ville's own fourriere municipale, named the town's mandataire on the Ville's licence page - the service that takes in stray, lost and found animals, holds them in pound and lends traps. Licensing itself is Ville-administered, through the town's online system and its finance service. Adoptions at the refuge run by appointment, and the operator's public presence is social-only - the Ville itself points residents to its page there - so the phone number above is the reliable door. No dated adoption event was verified for the autumn of 2026, and none is invented here: adoption here is a standing service, not an event. On the by-law: the Ville's animaux page is headed Reglement 1004-21, the MRC-wide harmonized animal regulation - the number is asserted with that attribution, exactly as the Ville's page carries it.

Pet shops seated in Alma

Mondou, store 2067 - the chain pet store inside Les Galeries Lac St-Jean

1051 av. du Pont Sud, Alma (inside Les Galeries Lac St-Jean) · +1 418-668-8711

Alma's full-service chain pet store, verified on the chain's own locator: food, supplies and the chain's services under the roof of the town's main mall on the south avenue du Pont. One flag rides with the card, printed rather than resolved: the store's postal code appears in two forms, G8B 2V7 and G8B 2V6, across the surfaces reached. They were never merged - the street address above is the settled part, and it is what a driver needs. Mondou's Alma store page.

Chico - the pet boutique at Le Centre Alma

705 av. du Pont Nord, local 101, Alma (Le Centre Alma)

The Quebec pet chain's Alma boutique, at the north-avenue mall. Its seat is corroborated - the chain's arrival in town was reported regionally and the address stands in the mall's listings - but one gap is recorded honestly: the boutique's own page on the chain's site did not surface in this pass, so the card is carried at seat-corroborated strength, with no hours or phone asserted. Verify the week with the mall before a special trip. The regional report of Chico's arrival.

Named, not carded

Two Alma independents are named at directory strength and held for a listing-grade pass: L'Ami Fidele and Nutri Zoo, both directory-listed Alma pet shops. Neither carried an operator surface this pass strong enough to card, and neither is dressed up as more than it is. When their own surfaces verify, they join the cards above.

Dogs off leash: the honest empty

No dog park or off-leash area was verified for Alma on the Ville's own surfaces in this pass - so none is listed. That is a gap in the record, not a claim that Alma's dogs have nowhere to run: the town's parks, the Parc Falaise and the Veloroute des Bleuets corridors are where Alma walks its dogs, on leash under the town's animal rules as far as this page can verify. If the Ville publishes a parc canin, this section is the first thing that changes.

Common questions

I found a stray animal in Alma. Who do I call?

The Fourriere d'Alma, the Ville's own municipal pound and its named mandataire for stray, lost and found animals: +1 418-662-7203, at 1770 chemin du Moulin Nord. Not the SPCA Saguenay - it holds no Alma mandate.

Can I adopt a pet in Alma?

Yes - the Fourriere d'Alma adopts out from its refuge at 1770 chemin du Moulin Nord, by appointment; its public presence is social-only, so start by phone at +1 418-662-7203. No dated adoption event was verified for autumn 2026; adoption is a standing service, not an event.

What animal by-law applies in Alma?

The Ville's animaux page is headed Reglement 1004-21, the harmonized animal regulation adopted across the MRC de Lac-Saint-Jean-Est. The number is stated here with that attribution, as the Ville's own page carries it. Dog and cat licensing is administered by the Ville itself.

Is there a dog park in Alma?

None was verified on the Ville's own surfaces in this pass, so none is listed here. The gap is recorded honestly rather than filled from a neighbour town's park.

Where do I buy pet supplies in Alma?

At Mondou store 2067 (1051 av. du Pont Sud, inside Les Galeries Lac St-Jean) and at Chico (705 av. du Pont Nord, local 101, at Le Centre Alma), with the independents L'Ami Fidele and Nutri Zoo named at directory strength.
