Strays
This section provides information on the Council's policy for dealing with stray dogs.
You are no longer be able to hand over stray dogs at your local Police Station. Stray dogs are now our responsibility.
Hand dogs in at Earlswood Depot

At all other times the public should contact our Out of Hours Service on 01737 276000 and arrangements will be made to collect the dog from you.
Dogs only
It is important to note that our duties only apply to dogs found within the Borough and not any other sort of livestock.
