Owners will be required to pay the statutory fee of £25.00 plus any costs for boarding, feeding and any veterinary costs to claim their dog. In order to claim the dog the owner must provide a description together with personal identification. After 7 days, if the dog has not been reunited with its owner it will be offered for adoption and found a suitable new home.
Remember to make sure that your dog always wears a collar with a name tag or identity disc bearing your name and address, then in the event of the dog straying it will be reunited with you more easily. In addition get your dog microchipped, then if it loses its collar and tag it can still be identified. The street wardens can provide this service at a cost of £10.00.
