Strays and Contained Dogs
St Albans City and District Council has a responsibility for dogs that are causing a nuisance or appear to be a stray.
When the Council collects a stray dog it will be taken to the Council designated kennels and kept there. If after the statutory 7 day period the owner has not come forward, then the dog will be re-homed. When a dog is claimed by its owner, the owner is required to pay all costs incurred by the Council including kennelling costs. Once payment has been received then arrangements will be made for you to collect the dog or we can return the dog to its owner for a charge as detailed below.
