How do I report a lost dog to the council in Bournemouth, and what do I pay to collect it?
BCP Council asks you to report a lost dog online with its breed, description, where and when it was lost, and its collar, tag and microchip details. Your dog then goes on a list the council checks every time it gets information or collects a stray. If the council has kept your dog, you pay when you collect it: the fee can include collection, vaccination by a vet and a daily kennel charge, and the dog is not released until the fees are paid.
