In the event that a dog is straying, we will attempt to find the owner(s) and return it. If the owner is not found, the stray dog will be taken to kennels and the owner will have to pay a fee to reclaim their dog plus extra fees for kennelling.
To report a lost or found dog or reclaim a dog in kennels, please ring our contractor, Crowfoot Kennels, on 01283 585510.
