Stray Dog

Official government advice

Call Animal Welfare on 79691717. If the dog is friendly enough that it comes up to you and you are not afraid of dogs, try and hold the dog until the Animal Welfare Ambulance arrives on site to avoid the dog getting injured. If the dog is not coming up to you or you do not feel comfortable touching the dog, ideally follow the dog so that when the ambulance team call you when they are almost on site you can give them the exact location of where the dog is.

The law (*) gives you several options:

• return to owner if known
• deliver dog to the nearest police station
• deliver dog to a registered sanctuary, but they are under no legal obligation to take the dog
• if you wish to keep the dog, take it to the nearest police station to make a report and to check for a chip. After 7 days you can claim ownership

* Taken from ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION OF DOGS [S.L.437.101] LEGAL NOTICE 199 of 2011.
