Report your lost dog

Skip to contents of guide

You can report your lost dog to us online. We'll need to know:

  • the breed and a description of your dog
  • where and when it was lost
  • if your dog has a collar/tag and microchip

You can also report your lost dog by calling us on 01202 123 789.

Once you have made your report, you will be on a list that we will check each time we receive information or collect a stray dog. If we find your dog, we'll call you.

If you find your dog, make sure you let us know so we can remove your dog's details from our list.

You should also:

  • contact other nearby councils, particularly if you live near council borders
  • contact local rescue centres and vets
  • check social media or lost dog sites such as DogLost

Collect your dog

If we find your dog and keep it safe, you will need to pay when you collect them from us. The fee may cover:

  • the cost of collecting of the dog
  • vaccination by a vet
  • a kennel fee, which is charged daily

If you cannot pay the fees, we cannot release the dog to you.
