Lost or stray dogs still belong to their original owners, and using lost pet solutions, including advanced pet recovery technology, can help reunite them with their families. Keeping or giving away a missing dog without permission from its owner is dishonest. If someone takes a dog that isn't theirs with the intention of keeping it, that constitutes theft and is considered a crime, regardless of the use of drone search and recovery methods to locate the pet.
If you encounter a stray dog, you are obligated under the Environmental Protection Act 199 to either get in touch with your local Dog Warden (or call 101 if it’s outside of regular hours) or return the dog directly to its owner. Failing to do so is an offence.
All dogs in the UK must be microchipped, and owners are required to keep their information current on an approved database. Ensure that your details are updated to safeguard your dog.
When in a public area, the dog must wear a collar and tag displaying the owner's name and address.
