All stray dog found within the Doncaster Borough are taken to Mount Pleasant Kennels, Wakefield Road, Hampole, Doncaster. If your dog is lost, you should contact the kennels between 8.30am and 5pm any day of the week, on 01302 722748.
Any dog found straying will be picked up by the Dog Warden. If we can identify the dog immediately – for instance, if it has an identity tag, tattoo, microchip or other ID - we will normally contact the dog’s owner, and reunite dog and owner straight away. There is normally no fee for this.
If we cannot immediately identify the dog’s owner, we will register the dog and take it to local boarding kennels.
When a dog is taken to kennels to be looked after, its owner has seven days to claim it back. When doing so the owner must pay a fixed fee, which is set by central Government, and all fees incurred for the dog’s care and kennelling.
Dogs not claimed within seven days will be made available for re-homing.
