A RINGMASTER MESSAGE A change in national legislation means that local authorities alone will be responsible for dealing with lost or stray dogs from 6 Apr 2008, ending the current arrangement under which the police and councils shared this task. After 6 Apr 2008 the police will not accept stray dogs at any police stations or take notifications of lost dogs. The police will continue to be responsible for taking action over dangerous dogs and the theft of dogs. Please find below the new arrangements regarding stray dogs and please note these differ from borough to borough.
