Reporting lost animals

Summary

Our Dog Warden Service only collects detained stray dogs. If you have found a stray and have been able to keep hold of it, please contact us to arrange collection. If you have lost your dog please report it us, with a full description of the dog and the time and place it was lost. You should also report this to your nearest police station.
