Stray dogs

How to report a stray dog or issues with dogs in your area.

A dog that is not under supervision:

  • will foul
  • could be aggressive
  • cause road accidents
  • worry livestock
  • injure themselves

We collect strays and take them to kennels for their own welfare and for public safety.
