If you find a dog

  • FIRST, you need to contact Cardiff Dogs Home (it is a legal requirement) on
    02920 711243     or 02920 708141
    to report dog and staff can check whether the owner has reported dog missing.
  • If they have then they can try and reunite dog and owner without it coming in to the kennels. If the dog hasn't been reported missing, the Dog Warden will come and collect it from you during office hours if they can or please take to Cardiff Dogs Home.
  • Outside office hours you can bring the dog to Cardiff Dogs Home as they will receive dogs 24 hours a day (Cardiff Dogs Home, Westpoint Industrial Estate, Penarth Road, Cardiff CF11 8JQ).
  • NB The Police and RSPCA no longer deal with stray dogs as it is the responsibility of the Local Authority.
  • Useful info from the Dogs Trust

Getting your dog microchipped won't cost you as much as you think
Microchipping provides the security of knowing that should your dog stray, the chances of being reunited with him will significantly increase.
While every dog owner is legally obliged to ensure that their dog is wearing a collar and tag, these can easily get lost or can be removed if a dog is stolen. A microchip is permanent. Download the Dogs Trust Factsheet HERE.

Cardiff Council can also microchip your dog (by appointment) for free. For more info on how to go about getting your dog chipped click on HERE. You still need to make sure your dog has tag on its collar or harness (by law!).
