Stray and out of control dogs

All dogs should be kept under control at all times. Dogs that are not on a leash and roaming unsupervised could be picked up by the dog warden and taken to the kennels, where they will try to locate the owners if the dog is wearing identification or is chipped.

If your dog is taken to the kennels, you will be charged £25 plus a daily charge to get it back. Unclaimed dogs will be rehomed.
