Call: 03444 828 300 Phone lines open: If you believe this is your dog, there is a 2 step claim process:
1. PROVE THE DOG IS YOURS
- IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO CORRECTLY MICROCHIP AND TAG YOUR DOG. Verification of correct microchip details will enable
you to be easily reunited with your pet.
- Where a microchip is not found or the registered details do not match those of a claimant, the process is much more complicated
and can result in delays. You will be asked to provide proof that you are the legal keeper which may include, recent veterinary registration/bills, a purchase receipt as well as proof of address and recent photographs. Council approval may also be required.
2. PAY FEES & CHARGES
- All Local Authorities set fees & charges, which they require the dog owner to pay in full before a dog is released. SDK are required to collect these fees in full on behalf of the Authorities and we have no authority to waive or vary these.
Important Note
This service is provided by the above Local Authority in accordance with the appropriate legal legislation and remains under their direct control. To view the dog reclaim fees & charges that they set and/or contact details, these can be found by following this link to their website:
https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
If you are unable to pay these costs in full, you will need to approach your Local Authority IMMEDIATELY and request assistance, as found dogs are only held for a statutory period of seven clear days before being placed for adoption.

worth thinking about ..Walking at Tweleddown race course in Fleet this evening 8.15. There was a brown spaniel looking dog that appeared lost. It looked anxious and fretful, had a collar but we could not get close enough to photograph. We watched and waited but no one appeared. Tried to slowly approach but dog moved off towards Bourley road and we lost sight. Has anyone lost a dog in this area?

Pls just take a look at this dog.. it’s been recovered in Stratford but has a chip and registered to others but we are just working on the validity of that chip... the chip was registered prior to your dog being stolen but it’s just worth you looking

Postered popular walking woods and fields near Heytesbury. Also postered villages Shrewton, Chitterne and Codford.

Re the Heytesbury sightings, which may or may not be her - brilliant work by Heytesbury locals! Please can you raise awareness and poster if possible a ten mile radius as there have been no further sightings. It may be attracted to farms/stables/smallholdings and areas on the fringes of settlements. All agencies are aware (Dog Warden, Landmarc etc).Last edited: 2020-05-11 11:00:58 by Administrator

Bumping following the possible sightings in the Heytesbury area last week. If the spaniel seen in this area is her she was possibly dumped after the theft and will be very frightened.
Please do not actively search but keep a look out and report any sightings to the numbers on the posters which Sika and Gillyc86 have kindly put up.
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
Thank you John's Petcare for updates, I hope she can be spotted again soon.
Thank you Sika for taking a look around, has anyone spoken to the farmers to see if they can help in any way? Maybe leaving food and a wildlife camera near where seen Wednesday.

Checked out the Plain early morning. Walked, called and looked in barns.Last edited: 2020-05-09 16:14:38 by Administrator

Where in SP7 please
DogLostPoochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team
As it is possible this little spaniel escaped while suspects were on the premises we need posters all around the area. There was a possible sighting earlier today in Mampitts and Wincombe Woods, can anyone poster that area to raise awareness please?
