What happens to a stray dog found in Walthamstow, and are strays still handed to the police?
Walthamstow lies in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, whose council checks a found dog's microchip or collar tag to trace the owner. If no owner is found, the dog is kept in the council's kennels for 7 days before being rehomed. The council also states that the police no longer collect or accept stray dogs, and it lists Battersea as a place to report stray cats and dogs.
