Sheep on the lam in Osgoode ‘impounded' by Ottawa bylaw
Ottawa Bylaw is looking for the owner of a sheep that was found to be 'at large' in the Osgoode area over the weekend.
Bylaw and Regulatory Services director Roger Chapman says officers were called to the area of Stone School Road at around 11:45 a.m. Sunday because of a loose sheep that was running around the area.
'Our officers successfully contained the animal; however, efforts to locate its owner were unsuccessful. The sheep was subsequently transported to a local farm for safekeeping,' Chapman said in a statement.
In a post on X, Ottawa Bylaw said the owner would be required to describe the sheep before claiming it.
Chapman said a new home for the sheep would be found if its owner does not come forward.
'If the owner does not come forward, the animal will be surrendered for rehoming in accordance with the Pounds Act,' Chapman wrote.
