Stray Dogs
If a dog is wandering alone in a public place, it is classed as
a stray - in which case we can pick it up and impound it at our
kennels. There are many reasons why we do this:
- Many of you are not dog lovers and find dogs a nuisance,
therefore dog owners must not allow their dogs to stray.
- Strays can wander onto the road and cause an accident.
- Dog fouling is a major concern and we have recognised this by
implementing Dog Fouling By-Laws to address the problem. You
wouldn't like it if you stepped in dog mess, so clean it up - your
dog can't pick up after itself.
Anyone who finds a stray dog can contact us on 01446
709105 during office hours. Outside of these hours the
police should be contacted.
If the dog is wearing an identification tag, all efforts will be
made to return it to its owner. However, it is still an offence to
let a dog stray even if it is wearing a collar.
If the dog has been returned free of charge previously, then it
will be impounded and we will inform you of where the dog has been
taken.
All dogs collected as strays are held for 7 days before being
put up for re-homing. If in the meantime you wish to reclaim
your dog you must pay a fine of £25.00 and the daily kennelling
charges incurred. If the dog is unclaimed after seven days then
every attempt is made to rehome it by the kennels.
If your dog escapes, you can contact us on (01446)
709105 to report your dog missing and to check if we
have collected or had reports of a dog matching that
description.
