Stray and lost dogs
Report a lost dog
To report your dog as lost then please complete our Lost or found dog form.
An officer will take details of your dog and contact you should the animal be collected by a council officer. Please also check the Sangreat Kennels website for details of animals already in their care.
Stray dogs
If you have you seen a dog that is not contained or secured then we are unable to deal with this. If you have concerns about a dog’s welfare, please contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234999. Any dangerous dogs must be reported to Humberside Police on 101.
All stray dogs can be taken to our kennelling facility Sangreat Kennels at Scawby, Brigg, DN20 9AA, or a council officer can collect a stray dog from you within our working hours.
