Report a stray dog

The council is legally obliged to deal with stray dogs under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

During office hours, stray dogs, found in North Warwickshire ONLY should be reported to our Contact Centre on 01827 715341 Mon - Fri 8.30- 5:00pm and will be collected by Birmingham Dogs Home. PLEASE NOTE – the kennels close at 4:30pm promptly, so Dogs Home cannot and will not collect a dog unless it can be transported to the kennels by that time. This may vary depending on the location of the dog in the Borough.
