If you find a stray dog
Weekdays between 9am and 5pm
Complete our online form. This should take less than five minutes.
We will pass this straight to the dog warden, who will aim to collect the dog as quickly as possible.
Outwith office hours, public holidays or weekends
Contact (or take the dog to) your nearest police station.
If you have lost your dog
Complete our online form to check if our dog wardens have picked it up.
You could also contact Missing pets Dundee and Angus on Facebook.
When our dog warden picks up a dog, they will scan it for a microchip. If it has a microchip and the details are up-to-date, they will contact you and return the dog at no cost. If they are unable to contact you, they will have it looked after at a licensed kennel and you will be responsible for any kennelling costs.
Any dog not collected after seven days will be made available for rehoming.
