Stray Dogs
The finder of a stray dog must forthwith return it to its owner (if known), or take it to the local Police or Council (although soon it will only be the Council that will receive stray dogs).
The loser of a dog should notify the local Police and the Council immediately and should keep in regular contact.
If after 7 days the owner of a stray dog has not come forward, then the Council (or the Police) may transfer the dog to someone else, and the original owner's claim to the dog is likely to come to an end.
Make sure that your dog has a collar with a tag which contains your name and address. You could also have the dog microchipped to provide a further means of contact.
