We patrol the district to identify and seize stray dogs, these dogs are held and the owners (if known) are informed.
The Council will never destroy a dog, unless a vet recommends that the animal is suffering, can't be operated upon or medicated, and needs to be put out of its misery. The Council's policy is that stray dogs are rehomed or passed onto local rehoming charities.
If you have lost or found a dog, please ring the Council as we keep the official registers of lost and found dogs. Alternatively, you can tell us by completing the online stray dog report form.
