How long does Waltham Forest Council keep a stray dog found in Chingford before rehoming it?
Waltham Forest Council first tries to find the owner by checking the microchip or collar tag. If nobody is found, it keeps the dog in its kennels for 7 days and then tries to rehome it. The police no longer collect or accept stray dogs, so call the council's stray dog line instead.

Can I get my dog microchipped through Waltham Forest Council if I live in Chingford?
Yes. Waltham Forest Council runs a dog microchipping scheme for residents, including in Chingford. The charge is £18 per pet and it is by appointment only, booked through the council's animal advice or licensing enquiry form. The council only chips dogs, so cats need to go to a local vet.
