Reporting lost/found dogs
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 find a stray dog out of office hours (evenings & weekends) you should contact our Out of Hours service on 01508 533633, or call 0808 1684444 for further details on where the dog can be taken.
If you have lost your dog please report it to 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.
We publish details of the dogs that our Dog Warden Service has collected. If there are any currently in care that were found in the South Norfolk area, the details should be published on this website (updated Monday – Friday).
How to report a lost dog
- Contact us online (link below), or by e-mail, telephone or letter (our details are at the foot of this page);
- Information we will need from you:
- your full name;
- your full address including your postcode;
- your home telephone number and a number which we can contact you on during normal office hours if this is different;
- your email address (if applicable);
- details of the dog (whether it is one you have lost or a stray you have managed to detain), and;
- how you would like us to respond to you.
Further information
By law all dogs should wear a collar and tag. This should have the owner’s name, address and contact number on it. Failure to do this could lead to a fine of up to £2,000.
