Stray dogs
Any dog found in a public place that is unsupervised can be seized and taken to council approved kennels.
Before returning a stray dog to its owners, they will need to pay the council for:
- kennelling fees
- a £25 charge
- any other costs incurred
Strays are kept for up to seven days. If a dog is not claimed after seven days, it will be re-homed. Please contact us if you can offer a dog a good home.
Sometimes, a dog will need to be put to sleep on veterinary advice.
