Stray dogs

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is responsible for collecting stray dogs. The dog will be returned to its owner wherever possible, or taken to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

If you find a stray dog

If you find a stray dog, first check for an identification tag on the collar. They often have an address or telephone number so you can reunite them with their owner.

If you find a dog that that has no identifiable owner please contact the Stray Dog Collection Service using the details on the right.

If you have lost a dog

Telephone the Battersea Lost Dogs and Cats Line.

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home has a database of lost dogs and cats from across London, and will check if your dog's details match any dogs that have been found and handed in to them.

You should also inform the Royal Borough's Stray Dog Collection Service.
