Dog warden service
We deal with:
- collecting stray dogs
- excessive dog barking
- the enforcement of legislation involved with dog fouling
What we don't deal with:
- rehoming
- welfare
- dangerous dogs
To report a dangerous dog, please contact the police. For other enquiries, please contact the RSPCA (link opens in new window) or another rehoming organisation.
If a stray dog is reported between the hours of 9am to 5pm, the dog warden will attend as long as the dog is confined / contained. If the dog is 'roaming loose' in a general area, we will assess the practicability and schedule a collection in with a patrol of that area.
Whilst we don’t have a statutory obligation to collect dogs out of hours, we will go beyond this by collecting confined / contained dogs.
