- If you find a dog that is obviously lost, please check to see if the dog is wearing a collar and an identification tag. The dog will need to be checked for a microchip by either a vet, at a dogs home or by the warden. If the dog has not been reported missing the dog warden will come and collect the dog from you during office hours. Please note, it is a legal requirement to report any found dogs to the Local Authority. You can report a lost dog anonymously, but by registering your details you can track the progress of your report and receive updates as it is processed.
