It is the council's policy not to re-home dogs in the same area where they were found straying. Stray dogs we have collected may be available for re-homing if they are not collected by their owner within seven days. It is an offence to allow any dog in a public place without a collar with the name and address of the owner attached. A map of the location of the Security Office, Pipehouse Wharf is available below.
