Lancaster City Council takes on responsibility for stray dogs
Lancaster City Council has taken over responsibility for dealing with stray dogs which are found at night or at weekends.
Instead of the police dealing with stray dogs, it will now be the responsibility of Lancaster City Council.
The police are still responsible for dealing with road traffic incidents caused by dogs and dogs worrying livestock, but they will no longer accept stray dogs at police stations.
Anyone who has found a stray should contact the City Council, who will advise them as to the procedure. For dogs lost and found Monday to Friday (except Bank Holidays) between 9am and 5pm, contact Lancaster City Council’s Dog Warden Service on 01524 582935.
For dogs found outside these hours, contact Lancaster City Council Central Control on 01524 67099.
For dogs lost outside these hours contact Lancaster City Council’s Stray Kennels on 07931 220094.
Coun David Kerr, Lancaster City Council’s cabinet member with responsibility for environmental health, said: “ The dual responsibility for stray dogs which existed previously has led to confusion for the public in some cases, so hopefully the new arrangements will simplify the process. Dog owners are reminded to make sure their dogs don’t stray, as unfortunately this can lead to road traffic incidents, fouling, unwanted puppies, and nuisance. All dogs should wear a collar and tag so that they can be reunited with their owners as quickly as possible should they escape.”
Dog Owners - Bag it and Bin It
Free poop scoop bags are available from the Winning Back Morecambe’s West End office in a mission to reduce dog fouling on the streets.
Dog fouling is a nuisance and we would like to encourage dog owners to be responsible for their pets and clean up after them.
Please come and pick up your free bags and remember to put used bags in the bin.
Allowing your dogs to foul on the pavement could land you with a £50 fine and repeat offenders could be fined up to £1,000. The Police Community Support Officers can issue fixed penalty notices for dog fouling.
Please report any dog fouling ‘hot spots’ to the Lancaster City Council Dog Wardens by telephoning 582935.
